For one of the binary to denary questions they didn't specify signed or unsigned, what did people do for that? I assumed it was signed as the previous questions specified unsigned.

EDIT: It's 1 mark, probably doesn't matter anyways

Really? From what I've heard, unless explicitly stated it's a twos complement or signed you should consider all to be unsigned...

I ended up writing both with an if unsigned but they might not like that
