A two's complement is basically a NOT operation performed on the nibble. Any binary number is converted between positive and negative by computing its two's complement. Basically, the leftmost bit is called the sign bit. '''There are two ways. (taking nibbles as an example) -1 could be 1001. This is not useful, as now there are two ways to represent 0, 1000 for -0 and 0000 for ordinary 0. Also the addition and subtraction has to be changed for this. This is all not nice. This is why people invented two's complement''', two's complement is basically using 1111 for -1 and 1000 for -8.

Emulations

Primitive emulations are the reproducing of any particular operation using exclusively operations that do not include the original. There are 3 types of emulations: direct, indirect, and conditional.


XOR

 a xor b = (a and (not b)) or ((not a) and b)
 a xor b = not ( (not (a and (not b)) and (not ( (not a) and b ) ) )

OR

 a or b = not ( (not a) and (not b) )


NOT

  not a = a xor 0xff
