== Sign bit in sign magnitude integers == {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;" |+ !Bits !Value using sign magnitude |- | {{Mono|'''0'''000}} | 0 |- | {{Mono|'''0'''001}} | 1 |- | {{Mono|'''0'''111}} | 7 |- | {{Mono|'''1'''000}} | β0 |- | {{Mono|'''1'''001}} | β1 |- | {{Mono|'''1'''111}} | β7 |} Using [[sign magnitude]], the sign bit directly determines the sign. If the sign bit is 0, the number is positive; if the sign bit is 1, the number is negative.<ref name="Bryant" />{{Rp|52β54}} Similarly with Ones' Complement, this allows for both a positive and a negative zero.
