Assume 151 and 214 are signed 8-bit decimal integers stored in two's complement format. Calculate 151 - 214 using saturating arithmetic. The result should be written in decimal. Show your work.

As discussed in the text, one possible performance enhancement is to do a shift and add instead of an actual multiplication. Since 9 X 6, for example, can be written (2 X 2 X 2 + 1) X 6, we can calculate 9 X 6 by shifting 6 to the left 3 times and then adding 6 to that result. Show the best way to calculate 0X33 X 0X55 using shifts and adds/subtracts. Assume both inputs are 8-bit unsigned integers.
