Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Two unsigned numbers, 0101 and 1010, are written in 8-bit binary. Perform addition and explain each flag behavior after the operation.

💡 Hint: Always check the binary results and their implications.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider the binary addition of two maximum values in 4 bits. Discuss what happens with various flags.

💡 Hint: Identify what would normally happen with each flag when you reach technical limits.
