I'm not sure why there is so much discussion on placing negative signs interspersed among the digits. Why can't binary numbers be represented just like any other base numbers?
4 base 10 = 100 base 2 = 1 base 4 _4 base 10 = _100 base 2 = _1 base 4 100 base 10 = 1100100 base 2 = 1204 base 4 _100 base 10 = _1100100 base 2 = _1204 base 4 A single negative sign in front of the digits represents a negative number, no matter what base it is in. Leading zeros don't affect the process.. 004 base 10 = 100 base 2 = 001 base 4 _004 base 10 = _100 base 2 = _001 base 4 Skip .
