Lecture
Representation of Negative Integers: Covered Domain of Negative Integers
Description
This lecture covers the representation of negative integers, introducing a new convention where the most significant bit is used for the sign, allowing the representation of integers from -2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1)-1. It also explains the difference between signed and unsigned integer representation in C++, highlighting that addition is performed in the same way but the interpretation of the resulting binary pattern differs.
