What is the largest positive value that can be represented by an 8 bit 2’s complement number Correct Answer 127

Two's complement representation, or, in other words, signed notation - the first bit tells about the sign.

The convention is that a number with a leading 1 is negative, while a leading 0 denotes a positive value.

In an 8-bit representation, we can write any number from -128 to 127.

The name comes from the fact that a negative number is a two's complement of a positive one.
