Signed Binary Numbers
In general, we represent the positive (unsigned) numbers without any sign indication and negative numbers with ‘minus’ (negative sign) sign before them. But these are not applicable for computing in the digital systems like, computers , as the data is represented in binary number system. So to represent the sign a special notation is required.
Positive Signed binary numbers
The binary numbers having their MSB 0 are called “Positive signed binary numbers”.
Negative Signed binary numbers
The binary numbers having their MSB 1 are called “Negative signed binary numbers”.
Unsigned numbers can have a wide range of representation. But whereas, in case of signed numbers, we can represent their range only from – (2(n-1) – 1) to + (2(n-1) – 1).
Where n is the number of bits (including sign bit).
Ex: For a 5 bit signed binary number (including 4 magnitude bits & 1 sign bit).
