Unless it's a signed integer, then it's -1 and they're expecting something...

A 5 bit long signed integer? What kind of weird system you using ? :p

Two's complement

Because a 5 bit unsigned integer is so much better? :p

Only if you're using a sign bit rather than two's compliment (a sign bit allows for two representations of 0)
