'Floating point representation' is used to represent
Show Hint
- Integers
- Whole Numbers
- Real Numbers
- Boolean Values
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Computer number systems use different formats for different types of numbers.
- Integers and Whole Numbers are numbers without fractional parts. They are typically represented using simple binary or 2's complement formats.
- Boolean Values are `true` or `false`, represented by a single bit (1 or 0).
- Real Numbers are numbers that can have a fractional part (e.g., 3.14159, -0.0025). To represent these numbers, especially over a wide range of magnitudes, computers use a system called floating-point representation.

Given an unsigned 32-bit integer \( x \), which of the following C/C++ expressions correctly toggles its bits starting from position \( p \) (with the least significant bit at position 0)?
Assume: \( x \) is the input integer; \( p \) is the starting position of the bit range (0-based, LSB at position 0); \( m \) is the number of bits to toggle; and no overflow or invalid input conditions occur. Which of the following correctly toggles \( m \) bits starting from position \( p \)?
