Negative Decimal Values
In two’s complement notation, the leftmost position is always 1 for
negative values. The equivalent decimal value of the binary number is
obtained by subtracting the value of the leftmost position, 32,768,
from the sum of the values of the other positions. All positions are 1
and the value is 32,767 - 32,768 = -1.
