In mathematics, negaFibonacci coding is a universal code which encodes integers into binary code words. It is similar to Fibonacci coding, except that it allows both positive and negative integers to be represented. All codes end with "11" and have no "11" before the end. The code for the integers from -11 to 11 is given below:

The Fibonacci code is closely related to negaFibonacci representation, a positional numeral system sometimes used by mathematicians. The negaFibonacci code for a particular integer is exactly that of the integer's negaFibonacci representation, except with the order of its digits reversed and an additional "1" appended to the end. The negaFibonacci code for all negative numbers has an odd number of digits, while those of all positive numbers have an even number of digits.
To encode an integer X:
- Find the largest negafibonacci number with a value equal to or less than X; subtract this number from X, keeping track of the remainder.
- If the number we subtracted was the Nth unique negaFibonacci number, put a one in the Nth digit of our output.
- Repeat the previous steps, substituting our remainder for X, until we reach a remainder of 0.
- Place a one after the last naturally occurring one in our output.
To decode a token in the code, remove the last "1", assign the remaining bits the values -1,2,-3,5,-8,13... (the negafibonacci numbers), and add the "1" bits.
