Store –40 in a 16-bit memory location using two’s complement representation. First change the number to binary 101000. Add ten 0s to make a total of N (16) bits, 0000000000101000. The sign is negative, so leave the rightmost 0s up to the first 1 (including the 1) unchanged and complement the rest. The result is:  1111111111011000 Solution Example 13 Example of storing two’s complement integers in two different computers Decimal------------ +7 -7 +124 -124 +24,760 -24,760 8-bit allocation ------------1111100110000100 overflow overflow 16-bit allocation -
