Overflow for Two's Complement when:

- the operands have the same sign and the result differs from them in sign

or

- the carry-in and carry-out associated with the left-most position differ

How does overflow affect the behavior of two's complement numbers, specifically in making them act as negative values?

Overflow in two's complement numbers occurs when the result of an arithmetic operation exceeds the range that can be represented by the given number of bits. This can cause the number to "wrap around" and appear as a negative value. For example, if adding two positive numbers results in a value greater than the maximum positive value that can be represented, the number will overflow and be interpreted as a negative value.


What do you mean by arithmetic overflow?

arithmetic overflow is a situation that occurs when a calculation or operation yields a result that is too large for the system storage or register to handle. Overflow can also refer to the amount the result exceeds the memory designated for storage. ( basically too much, That's why its called overflow)

How does a 4-bit 2's complement circuit operate to perform arithmetic operations on binary numbers?

A 4-bit 2's complement circuit operates by representing negative numbers using the 2's complement method. In this system, the most significant bit (MSB) is used to indicate the sign of the number, with 0 representing positive and 1 representing negative. To perform arithmetic operations, the circuit adds or subtracts binary numbers by using binary addition and taking into account overflow conditions.


What is good about the two's complement representation?

Two's complement representation simplifies binary arithmetic, particularly for subtraction, by allowing both positive and negative numbers to be processed uniformly within the same binary system. It eliminates the need for separate negative number handling, as the most significant bit indicates the sign of the number. Additionally, it allows for an easy detection of overflow and simplifies the design of arithmetic circuits in digital systems. Overall, two's complement is efficient and widely used in computing for representing signed integers.

How do you write a program to determine whether a number is odd or even counter?

For positive integers, if the least significant bit is set then the number is odd, otherwise it is even. For negative integers in twos-complement notation, if the least significant bit is set then the number is odd, otherwise it is even. Twos-complement is the normal notation, allowing a range of -128 to +127 in an 8-bit byte. For negative integers in ones-complement notation, if the least significant bit is set then the number is even, otherwise it is odd. Ones-complement is less common, allowing a range of -127 to +127 in an 8-bit byte, where 11111111 is the otherwise non-existent value -0 (zero is neither positive nor negative). Ones-complement allows you to change the sign of a value simply by inverting all the bits. Twos-complement is the same as ones-complement but we also add one. Thus the twos complement of 0 is 0 because 11111111 + 1 is 0 (the overflowing bit is ignored). 11111111 then becomes -1 rather than the non-existent -0.


Why is excess notation and twos notation is needed?

Excess notation and two's complement notation are essential for representing signed integers in binary systems. Excess notation allows for the representation of both positive and negative values by shifting the range of numbers, making comparison and arithmetic operations simpler. Two's complement, on the other hand, is widely used because it simplifies binary arithmetic, enabling straightforward addition and subtraction without the need for separate handling of signs. Both notations facilitate efficient computation and data representation in digital systems.


What is meant by ones-compliment of a decimal number?

One-complement applies to binary values, not decimal values. Therefore when we say the ones-complement of a decimal value we mean convert the value to binary, invert all the bits (the ones-complement), then convert the result back to decimal. For example, the decimal value 42 has the following representation in 8-bit binary: 00101010 If we invert all the bits we get 11010101 which is 213 decimal. Thus 213 is the ones-complement of 42, and vice versa. However, it's not quite as straightforward as that because some (older) systems use ones-complement notation to represent signed values, such that 11010101 represents the decimal value -42. The problem with this notation is that the ones-complement of 00000000 is 11111111 which means the decimal value 0 has two representations, +0 and -0 respectively. In the real-world, zero is neither positive nor negative. To resolve this problem, modern systems use twos-complement to represent signed values. The twos-complement of any value is simply the ones-complement plus one. Thus the ones-complement of 42 becomes -43, therefore the twos-complement of 42 is -43+1 which is -42. Thus -42 is represented by the binary value 11010110 in twos-complement notation. With twos-complement, there is only one representation for the value 0. This is because the ones-complement of 00000000 is 11111111 and if we add 00000001 we get 00000000. Note that we don't get 100000000 because the result cannot have any more bits than were in the original value. When an "overflow" occurs, we cycle back to zero. As a result, incrementing and decrementing signed values has exactly the same logic as incrementing or decrementing unsigned values and flipping the sign of any value is only slightly more complicated by the extra addition operation. However, flipping the sign of a value is a much rarer operation than counting so the cost is trivial compared to the cost of counting operations using ones-complement (because there are two values for zero). Note that ones-complement notation allows an 8-bit value to store signed values in the range -127 to +127, whereas twos-complement allows a range of -128 to +127 (through the elimination of the extra zero). But in unsigned notation, both allow the same range: 0 to 255. Although we rarely encounter ones-complement notation, it is important to keep in mind that not all systems use twos-complement notation, particularly when working with low-level but portable programming languages. This is the reason why both the C and the C++ standards state that the range of an 8-bit signed value is only guaranteed to store values in the range -127 to +127.
