Binary Subtraction Tutorial

An example of binary subtraction. Subtraction in binary works like subtraction in decimal. In some ways it is even easier because there are less "cases" of what we need to do. This method, however, becomes obsolete when we switch to subtracting using two's complement negative numbers.

[@thomasw.eggers4303]

The video is very good. I thought I could add some details for the truly nerdy, and for those who have an interest in how computer hardware does binary arithmetic, particularly subtraction. If you are new to binary, I suggest you skip this posting. There needs to be a way to represent negative numbers. There are three common ways: (1) Sign magnitude (2) One's complement (3) Two's complement; this is by far the most common, and the description follows: All of the explanation will be given assuming 4-bit words. Extending the description to 32 bits (or n bits) is left as an exercise for the reader. (LOL, don't you just hate it when instructors say that?) The 4 bits have the weights: -8, +4, +2, and +1. Note: --- Only the left most bit (the sign bit, the most-significant-bit MSB) has a negative weight; All the other bits have positive weights. --- If you set any bit to a 1 (except for the sign bit), the number becomes more positive (or less negative). --- The zero value is represented by 0000 --- All ones, 1111, has the value -1. (Since -8+4+2+1 = -1). To get the negative of a number (that is, to get -N given N), the rule is "complement all the bits and add 0001". First, define the bit-complement operator ~ to be: "Change each 1 to a 0 and each 0 to a 1". Examples: ~0000 = 1111, and ~1111 = 0000 ~0001 = 1110 ~1010 = 0101 Proof: note that N + ~N = 1111 = -1 Example: 0101 + ~0101 = 0101 + 1010 = 1111 = -1 Rearrange: ~N = -1 - N Rearrange: ~N + 1 = -N Finally: -N = ~N + 1 (QED) Examples using the complement+1 negation rule: +1 = 0001; -1 = ~0001 + 1 = 1110 + 1 = 1111 -1 = 1111; +1 = ~1111 + 1 = 0000 + 1 = 0001 +5 = 0101; -5 = ~0101 + 1 = 1010 + 1 = 1011 -5 = 1011; +5 = ~1011 + 1 = 0100 + 1 = 0101 0 = 0000; -0 = ~0000 + 1 = 1111 + 1 = 0000 (Notice: negating 0000 results in 0000.) And finally, negating twice returns the original number, a requirement. Now any two numbers, positive or negative, can be added or subtracted. To subtract a number, first take its negative (using the complement+1 rule given above) and then add. NO "BORROWING" IS EVER NECESSARY. The subtraction method used by hardware inside a computer CPU is: Change the subtraction problem to an addition problem (by negating the subtrahend using the complement+1 rule), then add, propagating the carries right to left. Note that the longer a computer word is, the more carries need to be propagated. The time to propagate the carries is proportional to the length of the word, O(length), which is slow for long words. There are "carry skipping" methods which reduce the carry time to O(log(length)), but these methods are another topic. Addition and subtraction can cause the integer overflow exception: -- If two positive numbers added result in a negative (MSB=1) sum, overflow has occurred. -- If two negative numbers added result in a positive (MSB=0) sum, overflow has occurred. Adding a positive number to a negative number never results in overflow. The negative of 1000 (= -8) results in 1000 and overflow, since the largest positive number is 0111 = +7. In hardware, it is easy to calculate overflow by looking at the carries into and out of the MSB: Overflow = ExclusiveOR(CarryIntoMSB, CarryOutOfMSB). Note that there is always a "strange" number for any of the three number systems: --- Sign magnitude has the number 1000 = 0000 (-0 = +0) since the MSB is the sign and has no value; there is no +8 or -8. --- One's complement has the number 1111 = 0000. Again, -0 = +0, and there is no +8 or -8. --- Two's complement has the number 1000 = -8, but there is no +8; the largest positive number is 0111 = +7. Two's complement has the "strange" number in the most out-of-the-way place, so it rarely causes a problem. The other two systems have the "strange" number at zero, which causes all-to-frequent, and unexpected, computational difficulties.
