You have been assigned to work on a computer system that can only process data fed into it in the form of sign magnitude. However, all the data available to you are in the 2s compliment and there is no interface to link the old system to a new computer. As an IT professional you are required to use your experience to perform the following task;

(B) Given the raw data AB878, perform the necessary manipulation to feed the new computer.

(C) Given the raw data 415678, generate a 13-bit sign magnitude number for the computer

(a)The operating system is said to be a program that acts as an intermediary between a user of a computer and the computer hardware. Even though there is no universally accepted definition some refer to the operating as a resource allocator whiles others refer to it as a Control program. With reference to these two concepts explain the operation of the operating system.
