what's the general rule for translating negatives from binary? did you just do like 17 - 2 • (-1) or something?

I used what known as 2's compliment. Take the complement (flip all the bits - here that would give you 01110 which is 14) then add 1.

thanks for the explanation! could you express it as a NOT operation plus one? like is that how it would be processed at a low level?
