hey, i have to put -3097 into a bit pattern, then put that into hexadecimal form. so i know the digit on the left most of my bit pattern will be a 1 to account for the negative sign. now when i put this into hexadecimal form, does that 1 that assigns the negative count toward the value of the hexadecimal number?
for example if a pattern is 10001001, would the hexadecimal be (89) or would it just be 9 and we disregard that 1 for the negative?
