Binary, http://screencast.com/t/OwqhR80k1tS why is this equal to "0' when it clearly states that sum = 1? :O

OpenStudy (ash2326):

yes, it's a mistake I guess. It's half adder, isn't it?

OpenStudy (christos):

What do you mean by half adder?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

I think you are not studying that, A B S C 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Half Adder is a combinational circuit to implement addition in digital circuits

OpenStudy (christos):

But on the other hand its binary, the Something + Something = Something logic may not apply as the rest of the mathematics

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yeah :)

OpenStudy (christos):

Look at this http://screencast.com/t/4AhOHMx8AqL My mind is blow 1 + 1 = 10 in normal Decimals it is 1 + 1 = 2 And it says that Sum= 0 and Carry = 1 How can I even get to that result?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yeah in decimal it's 2, but binary addition of 1 +1 =10 Now convert binary no. 10 to decimal \[10=1\times 2^1+0\times 2^0=2\] It's different number system

OpenStudy (christos):

its 10 = 10 X 2^0

OpenStudy (christos):

Convert it to see http://www.mathsisfun.com/binary-decimal-hexadecimal-converter.html 1=1 10=2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

In decimal no.s the base is 10 so \[15=1\times 10^1+5\times 10^0=5\] For binary the base is 2 \[10=1\times 2^1+0\times 2^0=2\]

OpenStudy (christos):

So I get's I will have to just remember the result? Or is there a way to "Prove" the result?

OpenStudy (christos):

guess*

OpenStudy (ash2326):

I just proved it, when I converted 10 to decimal no.

OpenStudy (christos):

but it doesn't give me sum = 2 it gives sum = 0 and carry = 1

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Sum is the first no. Carry is the second no. C S 1 0 \[10_2 -> 2_{10}\]

OpenStudy (phi):

by sum, they mean the lowest digit. in binary you have these addition problems using 1 digit 0 + 0 = 0 (sum is 0, carry is 0) 1+ 0 = 1 (sum is 1, carry is 0) 0+1 = 1 ditto 1 + 1 = 10 (sum is 0, carry is 1)

OpenStudy (christos):

Do you know this for curtain ash ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Curtain????

OpenStudy (phi):

you can use those "rules" to add up bigger numbers

OpenStudy (christos):

idk it feels weird :D

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yeah, it'll take time to get used to

OpenStudy (aravindg):

100% sure its a printing mistake 0+1=1

OpenStudy (christos):

Guys I dont think this is equal to 1_2 + 0_2 it's binary for digital systems here

OpenStudy (phi):

Do you have a specific question? The rules for binary arithmetic are simple: you have 2 digits 0 and 1 0+0 =0 should be clear 0+1= 1+0= 1 should be clear 1+1 = ?? it can't be 0 and it can't be 1, so we use *position* put a 1 in the 2nd position, 1+1= 10 that means 1*2^1 + 0*2^0

OpenStudy (ash2326):

You should see the no.s in binary, then it'll make more sense 0->0 1->1 2->10 3->11 4->100 5->101 6->110 7->111

OpenStudy (phi):

** Binary, http://screencast.com/t/OwqhR80k1tS why is this equal to "0' when it clearly states that sum = 1? :O** as Ara and others have said, this is one of those unfortunate typos that sneak into math books.
