Twos Complement Exercise

This document provides examples of calculating two's complements. It first shows that the 8-bit two's complement of 26 in binary is 11100110. It then demonstrates that the decimal representation of the 8-bit two's complement number 11010011 is -45. Specifically, it shows taking the one's complement then adding 1 to get the two's complement number, before converting it to decimal.
