# Signed and unsigned numbers
## Summary
- To represent negative integers in binary we use signed numbers._Signed binary_
includes negative integers, _unsigned binary_ does not.
- There are different methods of implementing the encoding of signed numbers.
Two prominant approaches are **two's complement** and **signed magnitude
representation**.
