Do not edit or delete questions after getting help. When a user edits or deletes a question after getting help, the context of the help is subverted and the thread becomes difficult for other members to follow. Moderators will close threads vandalised in this way, restore the deleted question, and the infract the offending member. The material posted on MHB is a body of knowledge that is a valuable resource for everyone. It is unacceptable to vandalize this resource. Note that a member who deletes a question after getting help casts suspicion of cheating upon themselves. Be careful what you post. Once you post a question or information, it will remain viewable to all members of the public - this includes all staff and students of the institute at which you may study - and may show up on search engines such as Google. It is good etiquette, if you mark your thread as [SOLVED], to post your solution so that others searching MHB will be able to see the solution, and not waste their search time.

Two's Complement Binary Addition is a method used in digital electronics and computing to represent and perform arithmetic operations on negative numbers. It is based on the binary number system, where each digit can have two possible values: 0 or 1.
In Two's Complement Binary Addition, negative numbers are represented by taking the complement of the positive number and adding 1. This is done by flipping all the bits (0s to 1s and 1s to 0s) and then adding 1 to the least significant bit (rightmost bit).
Two's Complement Binary Addition is used because it allows for a more efficient and consistent way to represent both positive and negative numbers in binary form. It also simplifies the process of performing arithmetic operations on these numbers.
Sure, let's say we want to add -3 (represented as 101 in binary) and 5 (represented as 0101 in binary). First, we take the complement of 101, which gives us 010. Then, we add 1 to the least significant bit, which gives us 011. Finally, we perform the addition as we would with regular binary numbers, giving us a result of 0010, which is equivalent to 2 in decimal form.
Two's Complement Binary Addition has a limited range of values it can represent. For example, with 8 bits, it can represent numbers from -128 to 127. It also does not have a unique representation for 0, as both 00000000 and 10000000 represent 0 and can cause confusion in some situations.
