| − | When using the signed hexadecimal number system in programming (such as [[68000]] assembly), the values '''$80''' to '''$FF''' are interpreted as '''-$80''' to '''-$01''' respectively. This is because there is no way to literally prefix a number with the minus symbol "-". Instead, the highest [[bit]] in a byte is used to represent negativity.

| − | Conversely, the '''unsigned''' number system has no negatives. So '''$81''' is read simply as '''$81'''.
