In this C program, we will learn about how to find two complement of a binary number.

Algorithm to find twos complement of a binary number
- To find the twos complement of a number first find the ones complement by toggling the bits of the number. Change all 1's to 0's and all 0's to 1's.
- Add binary 1 to the ones complement to get twos complement.
For Example :
Binary Number = 00101011
Ones Complement = 11010100
Twos Complement = 11010101
C program to find two complement of a binary number
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char binaryNumber[100], onesComplement[100], twosComplement[100];
int counter, error=0, digitCount, carry = 1;
printf("Enter a Binary Number\n");
scanf("%s", binaryNumber);
digitCount = strlen(binaryNumber);
for(counter=0; counter < digitCount; counter++) {
if(binaryNumber[counter]=='1') {
onesComplement[counter] = '0';
} else if(binaryNumber[counter]=='0') {
onesComplement[counter] = '1';
} else {
printf("Error :( ");
return 1;
}
}
onesComplement[digitCount] = '\0';
for(counter = digitCount-1; counter >= 0; counter--) {
if(onesComplement[counter]=='1' && carry==1){
twosComplement[counter] = '0';
} else if(onesComplement[counter]=='0' && carry==1) {
twosComplement[counter] = '1';
carry = 0;
} else {
twosComplement[counter] = onesComplement[counter];
}
}
twosComplement[digitCount] = '\0';
printf("Two's Complement : %s", twosComplement);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter a Binary Number 11100001 Two's Complement : 00011111
