1.4 Twos Complement

Twos complement is a method of representing negative numbers in binary.
It is used because it allows for easier arithmetic operations, such as addition and subtraction, between positive and negative numbers.
In twos complement, the most significant bit (MSB) is used to indicate the sign of the number.
If the MSB is 0, the number is positive, and if it is 1, the number is negative.
