Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked to design a simple arithmetic processor that can handle signed integers. If you add two large positive numbers, how will the overflow and carry flags react? Illustrate with an example.
💡 Hint: Analyze the bit patterns carefully!
Create a flowchart for a program that sums integers until the sum exceeds a certain threshold. Indicate how you would use flags to determine when to stop summing.
💡 Hint: Focus on what decisions depend on the flags!
