Talk:Signed number representations

message: In the Ones' complement section there's this claim:
"Note that the ones' complement representation of a negative number can be obtained from the sign-magnitude representation merely by bitwise complementing the magnitude."
No matter how I look at this, I can't see how it is correct.  It seems contradictory to the definition of ones' complement as well as the "Eight-bit ones' complement" table and the "Four-bit integer representations" in the Comparison table section.165.225.38.226 (talk) 19:18, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The four-bit table shows that e.g. -1 is "1001" in sign-magnitude and "1110" in ones' complement representation. Bitwise complementing the magnitude means that you invert all the bits except the left-most bit (which is the sign bit). So "1001" becomes "1110", which supports the claim, so I don't see anything wrong with it. --Yawe (talk) 21:46, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

text: The one's complement representation of a negative number is obtained by complementing all the bits, and the signed-magnitude representation is obtained by complementing the sign bit, so if you take the signed-magnitude representation of a negative number, and complement the rest of the bits - i.e., complement the magnitude - you have complemented all the bits, and therefore now have the one's complement representation of that negative number.

thread_title:  Ones' Complement vs Sign-Magnitude 

message: Regarding ones' complement, end-around carry, and the reference that can't be found. I believe I understand what the reference discusses, which is an effect using a ripple carry adder. But nobody uses a ripple carry adder!  Seymour Cray, in his CDC days, believe that ones' complement adders were faster.  But also note that, as written in the article, the end-around carry is done after the rest of the addition.  If you use a carry-lookahead adder, like all real computers do, carries are computed at the same time as sum bits. A two's complement subtractor requires a carry-in to the LSB, which might need to propagate (hopefully though carry-lookahead) all the way. A ones' complement subtractor doesn't have that.  But otherwise, WP:NOTHOWTO applies. There are things that computer designers need to know, but that we don't need to explain here. Gah4 (talk) 21:11, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

It may be a fine link to a paper in Gauge Theory of Gravity (or not, I didn't check, and I'm not sure whether I'm fit to judge), but it obviously doesn't clarify Torsion as mathematical concept.

The ACS doesn't have any date except 514-516 for Aelle's death, and nothing about him being co-ruler (though as Aetheling this would likely happen when he was 12-14, an adult in Saxon society, which is confirmed by that date) or when he was born.
