      Overflow in 2's complement addition

      −8 ≤ x[4] ≤ +7

      −128 ≤ x[8] ≤ +127

      −32768 ≤ x[16] ≤ +32767

      −2147483648 ≤ x[32] ≤ +2147483647

      What if the result overflows the representation?

      If the result of an arithmetic operation is to too large (positive or negative) to fit into the resultant bit-group, then arithmetic overflow occurs. It is normally left to the programmer to decide how to deal with this situation.

      Overflow Rule for addition

      If 2 Two's Complement numbers are added, and they both have the same sign (both positive or both negative), then overflow occurs if and only if the result has the opposite sign. Overflow never occurs when adding operands with different signs.

      i.e. Adding two positive numbers must give a positive result
        Adding two negative numbers must give a negative result

      Overflow occurs if

      • (+A) + (+B) = −C

      • (−A) + (−B) = +C

      Example: Using 4-bit Two's Complement numbers (−8 ≤ x ≤ +7) 

       (−7)   1001
+(−6)   1010
------------
(−13) 1 0011 = 3 : Overflow (largest −ve number is −8)


      Overflow Rule for Subtraction

      If 2 Two's Complement numbers are subtracted, and their signs are different, then overflow occurs if and only if the result has the same sign as the subtrahend.

      Overflow occurs if

      • (+A) − (−B) = −C

      • (−A) − (+B) = +C

      Example: Using 4-bit Two's Complement numbers (−8 ≤ x ≤ +7)

      Subtract −6 from +7 

           (+7) 0111               0111
    −(−6) 1010 -> Negate -> +0110
    ----------              -----
      13                     1101 = −8 + 5 = −3 : Overflow
