Integers: excess/bias
	One disadvantage of 2C:
		Can't sort values just using the bit representation.
		Would look like negative numbers were greater than positive numbers.
	Another idea:
		Consider the unsigned values for a 3-bit representation
			representation			value		excess-4
			000			0		-4
			001			1		-3
			010			2		-2
			011			3		-1
			100			4		0
			101			5		1
			110			6		2
			111			7		3
		Represent negative values, but keep the values in representation order
		First half of the representations for negative, second half for positive
		This is called excess, or biased, representation.
		Each value is shifted by a constant amount; in this case the bias is 4.
		Since there are 3 bits, the bias value is 2(3-1) = 4
		In general, for an N-bit representation, we will have half of the values negative
			and half of the values non-negative if the bias is 2N-1.
		However, the bias could be any number < 2N - 2
			if the range of values includes both positive and negative numbers.
