My professor told me that the concepts is extremely important than programming.So today he shows us:
char c=0;
c=~c;(which is the bitwise)
so what is c=?
Since C is 00000000,and use not(~) so it is 11111111 now,but he said the answer is -1 instead of 255.Because he says it use one's complement or something~~~so,why it is -1?
(I know it can't be 255,since char is 1 byte with sign,which means it is -128~127,so 255 is out of range,so why it is -1?)
Ok,guys I know I am so stupid since for storing int ,we use two's complement notation,so 1111 1111 means -1.
but I want to know We also ues Excess notation for int,so why this case we use two's complement notation instead of Excess notation?which situations we use Excess notation? thx!
