What is the highest number representable in 8-bit two's complement encoding?
Can you give an example of a negative number in 8-bit two's complement encoding?
Sure, -1 in 8-bit two's complement is represented as 11111111. In this case, the leftmost bit represents the negative sign, and the remaining 7 bits represent the magnitude of the number, which in this case is 1.
