What is a 32-bit two's complement?
<p>I'm really confused about the term "32-bit twos complement"</p>

<p>If I have the number 9, what is the 32-bit twos complement?</p>

<p>9 = 1001</p>

<p>Two's complement = 0111</p>

<p>32-bit 9 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1001</p>

<p>Two's complement = 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0111</p>

<p>That result is so ridiculous! It's way too large! Is that really how you're supposed to do it?</p>
