Given a gray value, what color provides highest visual contrast?

Assume that I've a gray image, and I want to draw e.g. text on it. Now the image has some dark and some bright regions. So if I choose for every character a separate color, in what way do I compute such a color to gain highest contrast of the…

python3: How to get logical complement (negation) of a binary number, eg. '010' => '101'?

Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find a straightforward way to accomplish this simple task. When I go to negate a binary number through the "~" operator it returns a negative number due to the two's complement: >>> bin(~0b100010) # this won't…

Algorithm of a complement graph using adjacency matrix

How to implement a complement graph which is given with adjacency matrix (literally any graph)? I am wondering how to make a code of that graph, but I am not sure how to complete it. I usually use pseudocode for these "early" implementations. This…

Algorithm for 2's complement division

Came across two division algorithms (restoring and non-restoring) applicable to signed magnitude numbers. But couldn't apply it for numbers in 2's complement format. Are there any algorithms for 2's complement division?

Better algorithm for complementing integer value excluding the leading zero binary bits

I will explain first what I mean by "complementing integer value excluding the leading zero binary bits" (from now on, I will call it Non Leading Zero Bits complement or NLZ-Complement for brevity). For example, there is integer number 92. the…

Find the (deep) complement of two hashes

The complement is the mathematical term for what I'm looking for, but for context and possibly more targeted solution: I have hash A, which can have nested hashes (i.e. they're N-dimensional), and I apply to it a process (over which I have no…
