range of two's complement code example
Example: 2's complement range of numbers explained
128 = 1000 0000
reflect = 0111 1111
add one = 1000 0000 ??????
+128 and - 128 are represented by the same pattern.
A non-zero integer and its negative can't both be represented by the same pattern.
So +128 can not be represented in eight bits.
The maximum positive integer that can be represented in eight bits is 127.
