which means that both negative and positive
numbers can be represented.
A signed number of $n$ bits can contain any
integer between $2^{n-1}$ and $2^{n-1}-1$.
integer between $-2^{n-1}$ and $2^{n-1}-1$.
For example, the \texttt{int} type in C++ is
a signed type, and it can contain any
integer between $2^{31}$ and $2^{31}-1$.
integer between $-2^{31}$ and $2^{31}-1$.
The first bit in a signed representation
is the sign of the number (0 for nonnegative numbers
