OK Although we use this word hundreds of times a week whether things are OK or not, we have probably
rarely wondered about its history. That history is in fact a brief one, the word being first recorded in
1839, though it was no doubt in circulation before then. Much scholarship has been expended on the
origins of OK, but Allen Walker Read has conclusively proved that OK is based on a sort of joke.
Someone pronounced the phrase “all correct” as “oll (or orl) correct,” and the same person or someone
else spelled it “oll korrect,” which abbreviated gives us OK. This term gained wide currency by being
used as a political slogan by the 1840 Democratic candidate Martin Van Buren, who was nicknamed
Old Kinderhook because he was born in Kinderhook, New York. An editorial of the same year, referring
to the receipt of a pin with the slogan O.K., had this comment: “frightful letters . . . significant of
the birth-place of Martin Van Buren, old Kinderhook, as also the rallying word of the Democracy of the
late election, ‘all correct’ .... Those who wear them should bear in mind that it will require their most
strenuous exertions ... to make all things O.K.” [From the American Heritage Electronic Dictionary

PERL According to some, it’s “Practical Extraction and Report Language.” But the relevant Perl FAQ entry,
in perlfaq1.pod, says “never write ‘PERL’, because perl isn't really an acronym, apocryphal folklore
and post-facto expansions notwithstanding.” (Thanks to Anno Siegel for enlightening me on this.)

Suppose a 3n-bit number B is represented by an n-digit octal number Q. Then the two’s-complement of B is
represented by the 8’s-complement of Q.
2.22 Starting with the arrow pointing at any number, adding a positive number causes overflow if the arrow is
advanced through the +7 to –8 transition. Adding a negative number to any number causes overflow if the
arrow is not advanced through the +7 to –8 transition.

2.24 Let the binary representation of be . Then we can write the binary representation of as
, where . Note that is the sign bit of . The value of is
Case 1 In this case, if and only if , which is true if and
only if all of the discarded bits are 0, the same as .
Case 2 In this case, if and only if , which
is true if and only if all of the discarded bits are 1, the same as .
2.25 If the radix point is considered to be just to the right of the leftmost bit, then the largest number is and
the 2’s complement of is obtained by subtracting it from 2 (singular possessive). Regardless of the position
of the radix point, the 1s’ complement is obtained by subtracting from the largest number, which has all 1s
(plural).

2.34 Perhaps the designers were worried about what would happen if the aircraft changed altitude in the middle of a
transmission. With the Gray code, the codings of “adjacent” alitudes (at 50-foot increments) differ in only one
bit. An altitude change during transmission affects only one bit, and whether the changed bit or the original is
transmitted, the resulting code represents an altitude within one step (50 feet) of the original. With a binary
code, larger altitude errors could result, say if a plane changed from 12,800 feet (0001000000002) to 12,750
feet (0000111111112) in the middle of a transmission, possibly yielding a result of 25,500 feet
(0001111111112).
