How does microprocessor differentiate between a positive and negative number?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! You see, a microprocessor uses a method called Two's Complement to represent negative numbers. In Two's Complement, the most significant bit (leftmost bit) indicates the sign of the number - 0 for positive and 1 for negative. So, when the microprocessor sees that leftmost bit as a 1, it knows it's dealing with a negative number. Just a little twist of the bits to bring balance and harmony to the numbers!
