A technique to speed parallel addition by eliminating the delay caused by the carry bit propagation is called fast carry, or look-ahead carry.
Signed binary numbers have one bit that represents the sign, with the remaining bits representing the magnitude.
If you borrow from a position that contains a 0, you must borrow from the more significant bit that contains a 1. All 0s up to that point become 1s, and the digit last borrowed from becomes a 0.
Using the two's complement number system we can add numbers with like signs and obtain the correct result.
End around carry is an operation in 1's complement subtraction where a 1 is added to the sum of the 1's complement of both numbers.
