Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a full adder using basic gates (AND, OR, XOR) and explain how each component contributes to the output.

💡 Hint: Draw out each half adder and show how they link together.

Challenge 2 Hard

If you were to implement a 4-bit ripple-carry adder, how would you manage the Carry-outs from each full adder to ensure smooth addition across all bits?

💡 Hint: Think about the sequential flow of addition and how carries pass through from one bit to another.
