  2. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The method of complements normally assumes that the operands are positive and that y ≤ x, logical constraints given that adding and subtracting arbitrary integers is normally done by comparing signs, adding the two or subtracting the smaller from the larger, and giving the result the correct sign. Let's see what happens if x < y.

  3. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    If a and b have different signs, define a + b to be the difference between |a| and |b|, with the sign of the term whose absolute value is larger. [61] As an example, −6 + 4 = −2; because −6 and 4 have different signs, their absolute values are subtracted, and since the absolute value of the negative term is larger, the answer is negative.

  4. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    In two's-complement, there is only one zero, represented as 00000000. Negating a number (whether negative or positive) is done by inverting all the bits and then adding one to that result. [10] This actually reflects the ring structure on all integers modulo 2 N: /.

    It is performed according to these rules: The order in which the addends are added does not affect the sum. This is known as the commutative property of addition. (a + b) and (b + a) produce the same output. [7] [8] The sum of two numbers is unique; there is only one correct answer for a sums. [8]

  6. Proofs involving the addition of natural numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_involving_the...

    We prove associativity by first fixing natural numbers a and b and applying induction on the natural number c.. For the base case c = 0, (a + b) + 0 = a + b = a + (b + 0)Each equation follows by definition [A1]; the first with a + b, the second with b.

  7. 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 ...

  9. Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs

    As well as the normal mathematical usage, plus and minus signs may be used for a number of other purposes in computing. Plus and minus signs are often used in tree view on a computer screen—to show if a folder is collapsed or not. In some programming languages, concatenation of strings is written "a" + "b", and results in "ab".
