Well, honey, excess 3 code is called self-complementary because when you add a number to its 9's complement in excess 3 code, you get 1111. It's like adding a cherry on top of your sundae - it just completes the whole darn thing. So, in this case, the number and its complement together make a perfect pair, just like peanut butter and jelly.

Excess-3 code is also known as self complementary, because it can easily be complemented(9's complement) to perform addition in the case of subtraction.
