Every response in this thread rephrased as a reply to “an integer is a 32 bit binary twos complement”

1. there exist other ways to represent an integer

2. An old computer uses a different representation

3. numbers are displayed in base 10 on my monitor

4. when I type in numbers I don’t type binary

5. twos complement is confusing and unintuitive

6. it’s more natural to multiply by 10 when using base 10

7. I’ve used 32 bits to represent other data before.
