The great advantage of the two\'s complement system is that most operations are not dependent on the sign of the operands and furthermore are identical to operations on unsigned binary integers.

basically,its easier to operate with 2s complement.like if u have to do subtraction with binary digits convert it to 2s complement and then u can the add the numbers(im not sure abt this,refer a book).but anyway its easy using 2s complement.
