in a binary computing system. The most common is two's complement, which allows a signed integral type with n bits to represent numbers from -2^(''n''-1) through 2^(''n''-1) - 1. Two's complement arithmetic is convenient because there is a perfect one-to-one correspondence between representations and values (in particular, no separate +0 and -0), and because addition,
