I have another mini-question. What is the difference between my algorithm of negating a number and scanning the number from right to left and complementing all the bits after the first appearance of a 1?

@Lior I'm not sure it would work but you could try it out with pen and paper. Even if it did I assume the circuitry required would be far more that a simple bit inversion and add, which is very quick.

Ok, thank you :) If you want to read more about the "alternative conversion process" (as written in wikipedia) : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement
