    Question

    If the result of an operation on signal numbers is too large for the registers, _____ will occur.

    A.

    Underflow

    B.

    Overflow

    C.

    Reset

    D.

    None of the above

    Correct option is B


    When performing arithmetic operations, overflow occurs when the result exceeds the maximum range that can be stored in the register.
    Overflow Condition:
    · In an n-bit register, the maximum number that can be stored is limited by the bit-width.
    · If a calculation exceeds this limit, an overflow occurs.
    Example in an 8-bit System:
    · The maximum value in an unsigned 8-bit register is 255 (binary 11111111).
    · If an operation results in 256 (100000000), the system cannot store it correctly, leading to overflow.
