Negative numbers can be distinguishable with the help of extra bit or flag called sign bit or sign flag in Binary number representation system for signed numbers. It is not possible to add minus or plus symbol in front of a binary number because a binary number can have only two symbol either 0 or 1 for each position or bit. That’s why we use this extra bit called sign bit or sign flag. The value of sign bit is 1 for negative binary numbers and 0 for positive numbers.When an integer binary number is positive, the sign is represented ... Read More

Variables such as integers can be represent in two ways, i.e., signed and unsigned. Signed numbers use sign flag or can be distinguish between negative values and positive values. Whereas unsigned numbers stored only positive numbers but not negative numbers.Number representation techniques like: Binary, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal number representation techniques can represent numbers in both signed and unsigned ways. Binary Number System is one the type of Number Representation techniques. It is most popular and used in digital systems. Binary system is used for representing binary quantities which can be represented by any device that has only two operating ... Read More

A number system is a set of symbols used to represent values derived from a common base or radix. In a number, the value of each digit can be determined using digit, position of the digit in the number, and the base of the number system. The base is defined as the total number of digits are available in the number system. This is known as positional number system.Number SystemBaseDigit UsedBinary20, 1Octal80, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7Decimal100, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9Hexadecimal160, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, ...
