Oh wow that solves the problem of needing to zero extend the result after taking the not. Taking the shift after the not both zero-extends and places the result in the correct spot. It is a very interesting property that it is possible to change the order of the operations if the addition becomes a subtraction. I will make the change. Thank you!
