Ep 013: Basics of Complement Notation

Using addition in both base-10 and binary, we show how complements can be used to perform subtraction using something referred to as ten's complement and two's complement notation. Take aways: At the completion of this lesson, each student should be able to: • explain the need for complementary math, • convert a positive decimal value to its 10's complement (negative), • convert an unsigned binary value to its 2's complement (negative), and • be able to identify the sign of a value from its sign digit/bit. #complement #tenscomplement #twoscomplement
