Just like -150. You can check like if(num < 0) //negative number

Just like AJ #Learn With Me 👨‍💻 said. You can Express negative numbers just like in maths. If you want to know how negative numbers are represented as binary inside machine language, then read next. The magnitude of the number is converted to 8bit binary, then its converted to 1's compliment, and then 2's compliment. Its a bit advanced concept.
