the-moog / signed_hex.py
Created January 4, 2022 12:10
A Python class that produces proper 2's compliment binary/hex representations of integers.
"""
Python's handling of negative hex numbers is rubbish
It has a two's compliment but that does not know about bytes
This class fixes that by allowing a negative hex number that is not just a hex number
with a minus in front of it
doctest below here....
Negative of 127
