- As shown in the figure below, there exists a process of converting each character of a
character string in accordance with the conversion table. When the result of
performing such a conversion is “0110001010”, which of the following is the character
string before conversion?
- As shown in Figure 1, there is a processing unit which reads two positive input values
A1 and A2, and then writes two output values B1 and B2. B1 is equal to A2, and B2 is
the remainder of A1 divided by A2. In Figure 2, two processing units with the same
function as the above are connected in series. When A1=15 and A2=6 are given to
the left-hand unit in Figure 2, what is the output value of B2 for the right-hand unit?
