Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3771) Public Comment: 2's complement negative and 10 binary digits
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3771?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31418#action_31418 ]
Andreas Guelzow commented on OFFICE-3771:
------------------------------------------
I have never encountered any special negative expressions other than 2s-complement for base 2, and that is really just a storage method specifically for use in computers. So I wouldn't expect it for any other bases.
So if one wanted to have conversion of negative numbers to 2s-complement that should be build into dec2bin (and bin2dec) rather than BASE.
I still can't see sufficient use for that.

> this just to be sure the RFEs for ODv1.3 was tracked and so can be discussed
> and maybe added.
> The RFEs are:
> 1) a modification to BASE(), to support two's complement negative binary
> numbers.
> Use the optional 3th parameter: 'Integer MinimumLength' to specify the bit
> size of the machine word for negative numbers.
