Why didn't the complement's formula work?

I have just learnt that to get the formula to find the 1st Complement is -x = 2^n - x - 1 I have managed to apply it on a binary case: -00001100 (base 2) = 2^8 - 12 - 1 = 243 = 11110011…

How does computer distinguish 6 (110) and -1 (110) in 1's complement

I was learning about one's complement and how one's complement uses the most significant digit as a sign indicator. If you represent binary number 110 with 1's complement, you get -1. But, obviously, 110 is equivalent to 6 in decimal. Here I was…

C# convert one's complement bits to a two's complement long?

In C#, how can I convert a 64 bit ones complement number (represented as a long or ulong) to a signed two's complement long? For reference, I'm trying to implement ULP-based double comparison using BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits().

How to subtract negative numbers from negative numbers using Complement notation?

I've just started learning. I am trying to understand this thoroughly and deeply. I somewhat understand it as long as it's subtraction between a Smaller number from a Larger number or a Larger number from a Smaller number, but when the Minuend in…

Why the status flags in AVR are on after one's-complementing a zeroed register?

I have a code in assembly and I have to find out why the status flags are on One of the codes is LDI R16, 0 COM R16 the result was 0xFF But I don’t understand why the S and C flags were on.

Value assigned to 0xFFFFFFFF in One's Complement and Two's Complement

This is a short question and I just wanted to clarify something. What is the value assigned to 0xFFFFFFFF in One and Two's Complement? I thought that 0xFFFFFFFF is Two's Complement was -1. However when I used an online Two's Complement calculator, I…

Why does 0xff equal to negative 0 in C++

I saw some code looking like this: Object *area = new Object[n]; memset(area, 0xff, sizeof(Object) * count); So this fills the Object array's every field with bit 1. Then later there are multiple places checking if an object's field has not been…

Why are the bits inverted in one's complement?

When storing a negative number with one's complement before you add the 1 for two's complement, why are all the bits other than the sign inverted? I suppose It would just be simpler if the only thing different was the sign. The only reason I can…
