  2. Overflow flag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overflow_flag

    Overflow cannot occur when the sign of two addition operands are different (or the sign of two subtraction operands are the same). [1] When binary values are interpreted as unsigned numbers, the overflow flag is meaningless and normally ignored. One of the advantages of two's complement arithmetic is that the addition and subtraction operations ...

  3. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  4. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    Addition of a pair of two's-complement integers is the same as addition of a pair of unsigned numbers (except for detection of overflow, if that is done); the same is true for subtraction and even for N lowest significant bits of a product (value of multiplication). For instance, a two's-complement addition of 127 and −128 gives the same ...

  5. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The nines' complement of a decimal digit is the number that must be added to it to produce 9; the nines' complement of 3 is 6, the nines' complement of 7 is 2, and so on, see table. To form the nines' complement of a larger number, each digit is replaced by its nines' complement. Consider the following subtraction problem:

  6. Saturation arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_arithmetic

    Additionally, saturation arithmetic enables efficient algorithms for many problems, particularly in digital signal processing. For example, adjusting the volume level of a sound signal can result in overflow, and saturation causes significantly less distortion to the sound than wrap-around. In the words of researchers G. A. Constantinides et al ...

  7. Zilog Z80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z80

    However, the parity flag bit P of the 8080 (bit 2) is called P/V (parity/overflow) in the Z80 as it serves the additional purpose of a twos complement overflow indicator, a feature lacking in the 8080. Arithmetic instructions on the Z80 set it to indicate overflow rather than parity, while bitwise instructions still use it as a parity flag.

  8. Carry flag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_flag

    The Overflow_Flag and the Sign_Flag are ignored. Another example may be an 8-bit register with the bit pattern 01010101 and the carry flag set; if we execute a rotate left through carry instruction, the result would be 10101011 with the carry flag cleared because the most significant bit (bit 7) was rotated into the carry while the carry was ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Two's_complement

    "Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest place value (ie the most significant bit) as the sign to indicate
