Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Use a fixed number of bits to represent each of the values in the system First bit is used to represent the sign, 1 represents negative number, 0 represent nonnegative number A negative number is represented by inverting the bits of its corresponding positive number in each place, then add 1 to the inverted number Suppose to use 4 bits to represent the number = =

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Write the two’s complement notation for -6, -3, -1.

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Bit Pattern Value Represented Four Bits

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Addition 7 – 2 = 7 + (-2) = ?

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Addition 7 – 2 = 7 + (-2) = ? Use four bits = 5 10

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Use two’s complement notation to calculate: 7 – 5 = ? -3 – 4 = ? 6 – 4 = ? -2 – 5 = ?

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers What is the range of numbers that can be represented using the 2’s complement? Answer: 2 N-1 – 1 to -2 N-1 Three bits: 3 to -4 Four bits: 7 to -8 Eight bits: ? N is the number of bits

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers List all the number with the two’s complement notation using 3 bits Express with the two’s complement notation using 8 bits

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Overflow Calculate with two’s complement notation using 4 bits

Excess Notation 1.6 Storing Integers Steps: 1.Add the excess value 2 N-1 to the number, where N is the number of bits used 2.Convert the resulting number into binary format Suppose use 4 bits = 20010

Two’s Complement 1.6 Storing Integers Write -8 to 7 with excess notation with 4 bits Write -4 to 3 with excess notation with 3 bits
