(1) If all the bits in an integer type are zero, does the integer as whole represent zero? Yes, the bit pattern consisting of all zeroes always represents 0: The representations of integral types shall define values by use of a pure binary numeration system.49 [§3.9.1/7] 49 A positional representation for integers that uses the … Read more
Two’s complement is a clever way of storing integers so that common math problems are very simple to implement. To understand, you have to think of the numbers in binary. It basically says, for zero, use all 0’s. for positive integers, start counting up, with a maximum of 2(number of bits – 1)-1. for negative … Read more
