<h2 id="positional-notation-as-encoding-scheme">Positional notation as encoding scheme?</h2>
<ul>
<li>One way to answer this question is to investigate whether the encoding scheme allows for arithmetic operations</li>
<li>Let’s see: Using the positional notation as an encoding scheme produces fractional binary numbers that can be
<ul>
<li>added</li>
<li>multiplied by 2 by shifting left</li>
<li>divided by 2 by shifting right (unsigned)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Why adding 1 to frac? Because number V is first normalized before it is converted.</p>

<ul>
<li>From Wikipedia:
<ul>
<li>Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small (usually would result a long string of digits) to be conveniently written in decimal form.</li>
<li>In scientific notation, nonzero numbers are written in the form</li>
<li>In normalized notation, the exponent n is chosen so that the absolute value of the significand m is at least 1 but less than 10.</li>
