Hex to Decimal 2s Complement

[Camm]

Two's complement is a mathematical operation on binary numbers, best known for its role in computing as a method of signed number representation. For this reason, it is the most important example of a radix complement.

The two's complement of an N-bit number is defined as its complement with respect to 2N. For instance, for the three-bit number 010, the two's complement is 110, because 010 + 110 = 1000.

Well, unless you can explain to me what "2s Complement" means I cannot 
help you.
