[@smoshfann24]

A helpful tip for finding the 2's compliment: flipping all of the bits and then adding 1 is the same as starting from the rightmost 1 and flipping all the bits higher than that.

[@Boufonamong]

Thank you

[@charpad6690]

Thank you for the info at 9:38; I could not understand how to do -7 +(-5) in 2s compliment until you showed that you just do the sign bit (-16) + all the ones.

[@Chainless_Slave7]

If you need to convert a binary number to its two’s complement form, you can use the method indicated by the video but there is a quicker method. For this you start at the least significant bit and move left ignoring any zeros up to the first 1, which you also ignore. Change any remaining bits from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0. For example, expressing the number 10100100 in two’s complement form leaves the right-hand 100 unchanged, then the remaining 10100 changes to 01011, so the result is 01011100. ------------------------------ Edit: For negative numbers, Convert the positive version of the number to 2's complement and then, just add a "1" to the right of the most significant bit. Just adding 1 converts a two's complement to negative. DONE! Example: 2's complement of 12 ----> 0100 2"s complement of -12 -----> 10100 See there is an extra 1 at the right end. ------------------------------------------- Extra note: While 2's complement of 12 is 0100, it can be written as 0000000000100, u can have many 0s at the right end But for 2's complement of -12 is 10100, you cannot write it as 0010100, u gotta write it like 1111110100. See what I did there? 1 is the default right end of negative binary numbers, 0 is the default right end of positive binary numbers ( talking in terms of two's complement)

[@andreamazzai1969]

Thank you, great trick

[@aadityapradhan5694]

I might me wrong but this trick may not always work, like for example -12 12 in binary 1100 using the trick it would be 0100 but the actual 2's complement would be 10100 which would be the result using this trick if you write 12 as 01100.

@@aadityapradhan5694 Well, same process for negative numbers but you add a 1 to the right end of two's complement of 12. Thanks, I have now added this step for negative numbers to my original comment

[@brandonmcbroom2960]

I am a big fan of your videos and they have been very helpful when i have professors that aren't quite up to par, so I really appreciate what you do. However, these conversions are incorrect, -6 in binary is 1010 and the 5 bit -7 should be 11001, and -12 is 10100. This can be found with the 2's complement as well. How I understand it, is that the most significant digit will always be negative, and you are adding the numbers afterward to arrive at your number.

[@user-ci5ou4gz9h]

Singed magnitude method of displaying negative numbers is not the same as complements of 2's method of displaying negative numbers. You are mixing the two methods together for no reason. If you add the sign bit to the complements of 2's method, you're making it just as much useless as the signed magnitude method as far as arithmetic operations done by a computer are concerned. Just use any online C2 calculator to verify that his conversions are correct.

There is a very easy way of taking 2's complement.Start searching for the first 1 from right side of the binary number.As soon as you found that 1, change(the opposite) the numbers left on it's left side. example: 0011001100 2's complement version is: 1100110100

[@user-hq4zk6eg5n]

Thats the 1's complement in 2's complement you need to add a 1 to last digit

is there another easy way of taking 1's complement...funny simply take 0 as 1 and 1 as 0....as simple as that... by the way, you are talking about 1's complement. in 2's complement, add 1 to LSB of 1's complement.
