​You can increase a fixed radix point format’s numeric range by allocating more bits to the whole portion.

One action that occurs during the fetch cycle is incrementing a pointer to the location of the next instruction.

A(n) ____ is a whole number—a value that doesn’t have a fractional part.

A(n) ____________________ is a circuit that can perform a processing function on a single binary electrical signal, or bit.

A(n) ____ instruction suspends the normal flow of instruction execution in the current program.

A(n)____ instruction generates the value true if either (but not both) data input is true.

Arithmetic SHIFT instructions are more complex when applied to twos complement values because the rightmost bit is a sign bit.

A(n) ____________________ instruction transforms the Boolean value true (1) into false (0) and the value false into true.

The ____________________ of the CPU keeps track of the next program instruction location by incrementing a pointer after each fetch.

Shifting an 8-bit twos complement value to the right by seven positions is a simple way to extract and test the sign bit.
