Appendix B. Computer Arithmetic
In the chapters of this book, I have deliberately kept discussion of binary arithmetic to a minimum. However, it is important overall, and fundamental to understanding how some operators work, so I've included a summary of the subject in this appendix. If you feel confident about your math knowledge, this will all be old hat to you and you need read no farther. If you find the math parts tough, then this section should show you how easy it really is.
