You can use a Bitwise NOT to flip all of the bits in a register, ie a binary digit of 0 becomes 1 and so on. We can use this to write a program to convert numbers to Two's Complement:
Program
mov r0, #20 mvn r1,r0 add r1,r1,#1
Explanation
Line 1 will get a value from the keyboard, and store it in Register 0.
Line 2 will perform a Bitwise NOT on the value in Register 0, and store it in Register 1.
Line 3 will Add #1 to the value in Register 1, and store it in Register 1.
Line 4 will output the value in Register 1 to the screen.
