C :: Negative Numbers Are Biased In Two Complement?
Mar 2, 2014
I am reading one of the exercise solutions for C Programming Language: The C Programming Language Exercise 3-4
In it, it states that negative numbers are biased by (2^n - 1) (i.e. -I is represented by (2^n - 1) - (+I). So:
Code:
Bias = 2^8 - 1 = 255 = 11111111
Subtract 25 = 00011001
Equals = 11100110
what is meant by the "bias" here and what is the value of "I" here. It just suddenly uses "I" without explaining what it is.

In this exercise:The C Programming Language Exercise 3-4..It states the following: "In a two's complement number representation, our version of itoa does not handle the largest negative number, that is, the value of n equal to -(2 to the power (wordsize - 1)) ."
A char is one byte (255 bits). The range of an 8 bit variable using a two's complement representation is -128 to 127. Therefore -128 is the largest negative value. The statement in book suggests that the itoa function will not output -128 if we pass -128 as a parameter, because in itoa when we try to convert -128 to positive -128, the inverse of -128 is -128. However, I just ran this code in my computer and it successfully outputted -128.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 10
void reverse(char s[])
{
int c, i, j;
}

ignoring negative numbers when I am trying to add up only positive numbers.
SAMPLE:
if (num>=0) {
sum= sum + num;
}
else
how would the else in this case being a negative number not be included in the sum

I have a program where the user inputs a line of numbers, and the two highest ones are displayed. It works fine, until negative values are entered at which point it shows 0 as the result.
Code: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( ) {
int num = 0;
int highest = 0;

So i have this program that takes in user input and stores them into an array and then prints them, removes duplicates, and sorts in ascending order. The user can also stop by inputting a sentinel value (in this case -1). But i am also supposed to ignore any negative value besides -1. When i input any other negative value into the program it messes up. How would i go about ignoring the negative values?
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int input, nums[20], i, j, k, temp, count=0, count2=0;
for(i=0;i<20;i++)

I've been working on this program to create a simple desk calculator for a school assignment, and I managed to finish. All we had to do was add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive integers - and I was able to do that just fine. This program got me thinking though, because I do not know how to write commands to multiply/divide negative numbers.
In fact, when I divide a number like 21 by 4, it comes out to 5 because I don't know how to allow it to compute remainders (which wasn't a requirement for my program). This intrigued me so I've been trying to figure it out for the last few days but to no avail. Here's my code:
Code: void flush_buffer(){
int ch;
while ((ch = getchar()) != '
' && ch != EOF);
[Code]....
And just know that my code works perfectly fine, I'm not here for troubleshooting it. I just want to know what I can change to allow negative values to be correctly computed.

Ok well i know that isdigit in my code is seeing the negatives as a character and so i made my program give an error message. But i need negative numbers to work how could i get this to work with negative numbers.
The code is supposed to add the 3 numbers input into the command line argument including negative numbers.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

I have a error with one of my programs. I'm supposed to get rid of negative numbers when there are numbers that are randomly generated. Here is the middle part of the code.
{
int vectorLength = 10;
vector<int> bothSigns(vectorLength);
cout << " Input vector: ";
for (int i = 0; i < vectorLength; i = i + 1)
{ bothSigns[i] = rand()%201 - 100;
[code] .....
The part where i'm supposed to start is after the /////'s. However, whenever I input a number for the random numbers(not put in part of code), i keep getting a segmentation error.

I have to write a program that uses negative numbers in a conjecture algorithm. The program terminates when a number is reached that was already outputted. I can not get it to work and I have been racking my brain for a week.
#include <iostream>

int main() {
int x[1000], y[1000], i=0, j=0, count=0, w=0, z[1000], t = 0;

I having some issues with two different programs here... One of them crashes and returns random negative numbers whenever it reaches a "fscanf" function and the other displays a "Polink fatal error: access denied" error.
Code:
/* Evan Wentz */
/* Pike - ET2560 */
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX_ACCTS 100
int accounts [];
double balances [];
[Code] ....
I thought the reason this kept crashing before was because I didn't type the data into the text file it was writing too correctly, but I made another program to do that, and it crashed whenever it got to fprintf. Program works perfect besides the file stuff...

This program was made to allow students to enter as many test scores as they want and the program will show them in ascending order and then will calculate the average of all test scores. It works wonderful until you enter a negative test score and then it throws the averaging process off. I can't seem to be able to make the program not accept the negative numbers.

So I have to make a program that allows the user to enter both positive and negative numbers and the program is suppose to calculate the sum of only the positive values while ignoring the negative values. Also it is to be a sentinel-controlled loop with a number ending the set of values.

Having error . I multiplied 0 by -4 and my result is -0 instead of 0. I tried to change the data type put It won't work. This is my code:
#include <iostream>
int main () {
double b, c;
std::cout<<"b: ";
std::cin>>b;
std::cout<<"c: ";
std::cin>>c;
std::cout<<b*c<<std::endl;
return 0;

I have to implant a code to convert any integer to its 2'complement. I have already finished the first and the second part, which was to convert the integer to its binary representation, then to invert each digit in the binary representation. The third part is to add 1 to the binary representation.
// the last step is to add 1 to the binary number
int carryIn=0;
int carryOut;
for(itr= bainaryList.begin(); itr!= bainaryList.end(); itr++) {
//start comparing the possibilities of the values in both lists
if (((*itr)==0) && (carryIn== 0))

I am working on an assignment about converting an integer number to its 2's complement presentation. The binary representation is consisting of a single linked list.
As we all know, the steps of this converting is to taking the reminder of the absolute value, then flipping the 1 to be 0, and the 0 to be 1 in the binary number. And the last step will be to add 1 to the binary number invers.
I wrote a code that implements every thin correctly. However, when I reached the part of adding 1, the program was hanged.
int Absolute; //the first step is to convert the number to the binry reprezentation
Absolute = abs (value);// by take the Absolute value of the negative number, then find the
while (Absolute !=0) //the binary reprezentation {
int res;
res= (Absolute % 2);
pushFront (res);
Absolute /=2 ;

im supposed to create a program that reads in a list of integers from the terminal and writes the negative numbers to one file and the positive numbers to another file.
i got most of it doen but for some reason its not writting the negative numbers. on what im doing wrong?
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int pos_num = 0;
int neg_num = 0;
int positive_numbers = pos_num % 5;

I am trying to average the negative numbers and positive number and of course the total average.
This will read in a list of n values, where n is not known ahead of time. The number of values read into the array will be saved in n.
vector<int> readList() {
std::vector<int> result;
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open("setA.txt");
for (int x; inFile >> x; ) {
result.push_back(x);
[code]....
array is a one-dimensional array of integers and n is the number of elements in that array that contain valid data values. Both of these are input parameters to the function. The function must calculate 1) the average of the n integers in array, storing the result in ave; 2) the average of the positive numbers (> 0), storing the result in avePos, and 3) the average of the negative numbers (< 0), storing the result in aveNeg.
void avgs (std::vector &array, int &ave, int &avePos, int &aveNeg) {
int sum = 0, pos_sum = 0, neg_sum = 0, pos_count = 0, neg_count = 0;
for (auto i : array) {
sum += i;
if (i > 0) { pos_sum += i; ++pos_count; }

I have a c program that I partially have working. The problem is basically writing a program that allows the user to input the amount of calories they plan to eat a meal and disperse the calories from top to bottom. My program produces the output in the example if I enter 1050 but the issue I noticed if the number of calories is just enough to cover the burgers I get negatives in the other variables.
For example, if I enter a total amount of calories of 1050, I can eat: Output: 2 burgers @ 770 calories (1050 - 770 = 280 calories remain) 1 bag of pretzles @ 170 calories (280 - 170 = 110 calories remain) 1 pear @ 80 calories (110 - 80 = 30 calories remain) 6 tsp. ketchup @ 30 calories If I input 1050 I get the above output but if I input a different integer such as 2000 this is my output 5 burgers @ 1925 calories 0 bag of pretzles @ 0 calories -1 apple @ -80 calories -35 tsp. ketchup @ -175 calories I can't give the full code since this assignment holds a lot of points and was up all night getting it work.
So I'll provide pseudocode
define all 4 variables burger 385, pretzel 170, pear 80, ketchup 5 print out text How many calories can you eat prompt user input
Divide user input into burger How many burgers can bet eaten subtract calories eaten from original user input
Divide calories left into pretzel How many bags can bet eaten subtract burger calories from pretzel calories
Divide calories left after preztel into pear How many pretzels can be eatn subtract pretzels calories from pear calories
Divide calories left over into ketchup how much ketchup can i use show on screen (int total)of burgers @ (int calorie total) calories show on screen (int total)bags of pretzels @ (int calorie total) calories show on screen (int total)pears @ (int calorie total) calories show on screen (int total)teaspoons of ketchup @ (int calorie total) calories
The problem I see is that subtracting the calories from the pear from the left over calories of the pretzel calories leads to a negative. If leftover calories minus 80(pear int) its less then 0 . The calculations from the pear onward to ketchup become incorrect resulting in negative output.
