Definition of "Sign Magnitude Representation" |
There are many schemes for representing negative integers with patterns of bits. One scheme is sign-magnitude. It uses one bit (usually the leftmost) to indicate the sign. "0" indicates a positive integer, and "1" indicates a negative integer. The rest of the bits are used for the magnitude of the number. So -2410 is represented as:1001 1000,The sign "1" means negative,The magnitude is 24 (in 7-bit binary). |
