  2. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    Use the same method to subtract 856 from 1000, and then add a negative sign to the result. Represent negative numbers as radix complements of their positive counterparts. Numbers less than / are considered positive; the rest are considered negative (and their magnitude can be obtained by taking the radix complement). This works best for even ...

  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. IEEE 754-1985 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-1985

    When comparing as 2's-complement integers: If the sign bits differ, the negative number precedes the positive number, so 2's complement gives the correct result (except that negative zero and positive zero should be considered equal). If both values are positive, the 2's complement comparison again gives the correct result. Otherwise (two ...

  5. Signed zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_zero

    Signed zero is zero with an associated sign.In ordinary arithmetic, the number 0 does not have a sign, so that −0, +0 and 0 are equivalent. However, in computing, some number representations allow for the existence of two zeros, often denoted by −0 (negative zero) and +0 (positive zero), regarded as equal by the numerical comparison operations but with possible different behaviors in ...

  6. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

  7. Ones' complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ones'_complement

    The ones' complement of a binary number is the value obtained by inverting (flipping) all the bits in the binary representation of the number. The name "ones' complement" [1] refers to the fact that such an inverted value, if added to the original, would always produce an "all ones" number (the term "complement" refers to such pairs of mutually additive inverse numbers, here in respect to a ...

  8. Sign bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_bit

    Ones' complement is similar to Two's Complement, but the sign bit has the weight -(2 w-1 +1) where w is equal to the bits position in the number. [citation needed] With an 8-bit integer, the sign bit would have a value of -(2 8-1 +1), or -127. This allows for two types of zero: positive and negative, which is not possible with Two's complement.

  9. Sum of two cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_cubes

    A Cabtaxi number is the smallest positive number that can be expressed as a sum of two integer cubes in n ways, allowing the cubes to be negative or zero as well as positive. The smallest cabtaxi number after Cabtaxi(1) = 0, is Cabtaxi(2) = 91, [ 5 ] expressed as:
