The IPv6 interface identifier would be of the form:. The interface identifier would be of the form:. When IEEE bit MAC addresses are available on an interface or a node , an implementation may use them to create interface identifiers due to their availability and uniqueness properties. Examples include LocalTalk and Arcnet. The method to create a Modified EUI format identifier is to take the link identifier e. For example, a LocalTalk 8-bit node identifier of hexadecimal value 0x4F results in the following interface identifier:.
There are a number of links that do not have any type of built-in identifier. The most common of these are serial links and configured tunnels. Interface identifiers that are unique within a subnet prefix must be chosen. When no built-in identifier is available on a link, the preferred approach is to use a universal interface identifier from another interface or one that is assigned to the node itself. When using this approach, no other interface connecting the same node to the same subnet prefix may use the same identifier.
If there is no universal interface identifier available for use on the link, the implementation needs to create a local-scope interface identifier. The only requirement is that it be unique within a subnet prefix. There are many possible approaches to select a subnet-prefix-unique interface identifier. These include the following:.
The subnet-prefix-unique interface identifier should be generated in a manner such that it does not change after a reboot of a node or if interfaces are added or deleted from the node. The selection of the appropriate algorithm is link and implementation dependent. The details on forming interface identifiers are defined in the appropriate "IPv6 over " specification. It is strongly recommended that a collision detection algorithm be implemented as part of any automatic algorithm.

Variables used in a Pascal program are declared after the keyword var. Each character is stored one after the other, each occupying eight bits of memory storage. Eight bits of memory storage are allocated to store each character in the string a total of 22 bytes , with the value in each byte as yet undetermined.
A more efficient way of storing numeric information is to use a different encoding scheme. The encoding scheme in most use is shown below,. Integers store whole numbers only!
They do not contain fractional parts. Consider the examples below,. The sign bit which is bit 15 indicates whether the number is positive or negative. A logic 1 indicates negative, a logic 0 indicates positive.
To store larger integer values would require more bits. Some systems and languages also support the use of unsigned integers, which are deemed to be positive only.
An efficient way of storing fractions is called the floating point method, which involves splitting the fraction into two parts, an exponent and a mantissa. For example, if 1 binary is added to 3 binary , the result will be 4 binary and three of the least significant bits will change to By contrast, the three most significant bits MSBs stay unchanged to Least significant bits are frequently employed in pseudorandom number generators , hash functions and checksums.
