Learning L/O : To demonstrate binary arithmetic and BCD

Objective

BIG QUESTION
How might digital systems, such as computers and
calculators, perform arithmetic operations using only
binary numbers, and why is understanding binary
addition, subtraction, and BCD crucial for designing and
troubleshooting these systems?

Objective

Let’s try subtract two binary numbers:

1110-1011
1 1 1 0
To get the answer use the
- 1 0 1 1
Following method

0 0 1 1

THE OVERFLOW CONDITION
Learning ADDITION OF A BINARY NUMBER
Objective

The maximum denary of an 8 bit binary

number (11111111) is (28 -1) =255 0110 1110
The generation of 9th bit is a clear indication + 1 1011110
that the sum has exceeded this value
This is known as an over flow error. The sum 101 0 011 00
is too big to be stored using 8 bits 1 1
