There are several alternative conventions used to represent negative as well as positive integers, all of which involve treating the most significant (leftmost) bit in the word as a sign bit. If the sign bit is 0, the number is positive; if the sign bit is 1, the number is negative.The simplest form of representation that employs a sign bit is the sign-magnitude representation. In an n-bit word, the rightmost n-1 bits hold the magnitude of the integer.
