2's complement is essentially a way of coming up with the additive inverse of a binary number. Ask yourself this: Given a number in binary form (present at a fixed length memory location), what bit pattern, when added to the original number (at the fixed length memory location), would make the result all zeros ? (at the same fixed length memory location). If we could come up with this bit pattern then that bit pattern would be the -ve representation (additive inverse) of the original number; as by definition adding a number to its additive inverse always results in zero. Example: take 5 which is 101 present inside a single 8 bit byte. Now the task is to come up with a bit pattern which when added to the given bit pattern (00000101) would result in all zeros at the memory location which is used to hold this 5 i.e. all 8 bits of the byte should be zero. To do that, start from the right most bit of 101 and for each individual bit, again ask the same question: What bit should I add to the current bit to make the result zero ? continue doing that taking in account the usual carry over. After we are done with the 3 right most places (the digits that define the original number without regard to the leading zeros) the last carry goes in the bit pattern of the additive inverse. Furthermore, since we are holding in the original number in a single 8 bit byte, all other leading bits in the additive inverse should also be 1's so that (and this is important) when the computer adds "the number" (represented using the 8 bit pattern) and its additive inverse using "that" storage type (a byte) the result in that byte would be all zeros.

2的补语:当我们用一个数字的1的补语加一个额外的1时，我们将得到2的补语。例如:100101，它的1的补足是011010和2的补足是011010+1 = 011011(通过与1的补足相加) 本文以图解的方式对此进行了解释。

让我们用8位的二进制形式得到答案10 - 12: 我们要做的是10 + (-12)

我们需要用12的恭维部分减去10。 12的二进制值是00001100。 10的二进制值是00001010。

为了得到12的赞美部分，我们只需要把所有的位反转，然后加1。 12的二进制反转是11110011。这也是逆码(一个人的补码)。 现在我们需要加一个，现在是11110100。

所以11110100是12的赞美!这样想很简单。

现在你可以用二进制形式来解决上面的10 - 12问题了。

00001010
11110100
-----------------
11111110  

Two的补语主要用于以下原因:

避免0的多个表示形式 避免在溢出的情况下跟踪进位(如补位)。 进行简单的加法和减法运算变得很容易。

最简单的答案:

1111 + 1 =(1)0000。所以1111一定是-1。那么-1 + 1 = 0。

理解这些对我来说是完美的。
