Definition of "one’s complement" |
(1) a representation of integer numbers in which a dataword is organized such that negative numbers all contain a binary “one” in the leftmost bit while positive numbers contain a “zero” in the leftmost bit, and in which the negative numbers are the bit-by-bit inverse of their positive equivalent. |
Definition of "One's Complement" |
The ones' complement of a binary number is defined as the value obtained by inverting all the bits in the binary representation of the number (swapping 0s for 1s and vice-versa). The ones' complement of the number then behaves like the negative of the original number in some arithmetic operations. To within a constant (of −1), the ones' complement behaves like the negative of the original number with binary addition. However, unlike two's complement, these numbers have not seen widespread use because of issues such as the offset of −1, that negating zero results in a distinct negative zero bit pattern, less simplicity with arithmetic borrowing, etc. |
