1's complement: Inverting the bits ( all 1s to 0s and all 0s to 1s)
2's complement: Adding 1 to the result of 1's complement.
Binary of 1(2byte) : 0000 0000 0000 0001 Representing -1: 1s complement of 1(2byte) : 1111 1111 1111 1110 Adding 1 to 1's comp. result : 1111 1111 1111 1111 Right shift 1bit(-1>>1) : 1111 1111 1111 1111 (carry out 1) Hexadecimal : f f f f (Filled with 1s in the left side in the above step)
Note:
1. Fill with 1s in the left side for right shift for negative numbers.
