Is it possible to differentiate between 0 and -0?

Question

I know that the integer values 0 and -0 are essentially the same. But, I am wondering if it is possible to differentiate between them.

For exam

Answer 1

To simplify i found it easier to visualize.

Type int(_32) is stored with 32 bits. 32 bits means 2^32 = 4294967296 unique values. Thus :

unsigned int data range is 0 to 4,294,967,295

In case of negative values it depends on how they are stored. In case

• Two's complement –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
• One's complement –2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647

In case of One's complement value -0 exists.
