.::Integer Representation::.

The Pentium Chips use 2's complement for Integer Representation.

• The left most bit is the sign bit.
• A negative is represented by complementing the number and adding one.
• To convert from negative to positive just get the complement and add one.
• Examples:
  • 0111 1111 1111 1111 = 32767
  • 0000 0000 0001 1010 = 26
  • 0000 0000 0000 0001 = 1
  • 0000 0000 0000 0000 = 0
  • 1111 1111 1111 1111 = -1
  • 1111 1111 1110 0110 = -26
  • 1000 0000 0000 0000 = -32768
