This document discusses 2's complement arithmetic in digital electronics. It explains that subtracting one number from another is the same as making one number negative and adding them. It then demonstrates how to represent negative numbers in binary by taking the 2's complement of a number, which involves complementing all its digits and adding 1. Various examples are provided of adding positive and negative binary numbers by taking the 2's complement of negative terms before adding. The most significant bit is identified as the sign bit that determines if a number is positive or negative.
