Today, we will learn about binary addition. Just like in our decimal system, binary addition follows specific rules. Can anyone tell me what happens when we add '0' to '1'?
It equals '1'?
Correct! Adding '0' to any number in binary results in that number itself. What about '1' plus '0'?
Itβs also '1'!
Exactly! Now, when we add '1' and '1', what happens?
It gives '0' with a carry of '1'!
Right! Remember this as we go on. A simple mnemonic to help remember the carry rule is '1 and 1 turns to 0'. Let's summarize what we learned: binary addition follows rules where 0 added gives the same digit, and two ones give us a 0 with a carry.

Letβs look at an example of adding binary numbers. If we add 1011 and 1101, how would we do it?
We align the numbers and add column by column, starting from the right?

Now, letβs move on to binary subtraction. Can anyone remind me of the rule when we subtract '0' from '0'?
It equals '0'!
Exactly! And how about '1 - 0'?
Itβs '1'!
Correct again! But remember, what happens when we have '0 - 1'?
Thatβs trickyβwould it be '1' with a borrow?
Yes! Great job! A mnemonic to remember this is 'When zero is less, we take a borrow.' Now letβs summarize: subtraction in binary has similar rules, but we subtract with attention to if we need to borrow!

Basic Rules of Binary Addition and Subtraction
This section delves into the essential rules for performing addition and subtraction in binary systems. The concepts are akin to those in the decimal system but with different outcomes based on binary rules. In binary addition:
- Adding 0 to 0 gives 0.
- Adding 0 to 1 yields 1.
- Adding 1 to 0 results in 1.
- Adding 1 to 1 gives 0 with a carry of 1 to the next bit.
- Adding 1 to 1 to another 1 results in 1 with a carry of 1.
In binary subtraction, the rules are similarly structured:
- 0 - 0 = 0.
- 1 - 0 = 1.
- 1 - 1 = 0.
- 0 - 1 = 1 with a borrow from the next bit.
Understanding these principles is crucial as they serve as the foundation for more complex operations and help in developing proficiency in binary arithmetic used in computing systems.

The basic principles of binary addition and subtraction are similar to what we all know so well in the case of the decimal number system. In the case of addition, adding β0β to a certain digit produces the same digit as the sum, and, when we add β1β to a certain digit or number in the decimal number system, the result is the next higher digit or number.
Detailed Explanation
Binary addition is fundamentally similar to how we perform addition in the decimal system. Just as adding 0 to a number keeps it the same, in binary, adding 0 to a bit keeps it unchanged. Additionally, adding 1 to a number moves it to the next value (e.g., in decimal, 6 + 1 = 7). In binary, that movement happens similarly but can lead to a carry if the sum exceeds 1, as binary only uses 0 and 1.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a simple light switch representing binary digits: off (0) and on (1). When you flip 'off' (i.e., add 0), the light remains off. If you flip it to 'on' (i.e., add 1) from off, it becomes on. This transition underscores how addition in binary functions where only two states exist.

- 0 + 0 = 0.
- 0 + 1 = 1.
- 1 + 0 = 1.
- 1 + 1 = 0 with a carry of β1β to the next more significant bit.
- 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 with a carry of β1β to the next more significant bit.
Detailed Explanation
These rules summarize how addition works in binary. For instance, when you add two binary 1s together, you get 0 and carry over a 1 to the next significant bit. This is similar to how in decimal, 9 + 1 results in a 10, carrying over the 1 to the next column.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine youβre stacking blocks. If you stack two blocks (1 + 1), they exceed the height you can manage at this tier, so they collapse (0), but you can set a flag (the carry) for the next tier to acknowledge that you need to account for that overflow.
Binary Addition with Three Bits

Table 3.1 summarizes the sum and carry outputs of all possible three-bit combinations. We have taken three-bit combinations as, in all practical situations involving the addition of two larger bit numbers, we need to add three bits at a time.
Detailed Explanation
In many binary addition scenarios, especially with larger binary numbers, three bits are considered: two from the numbers being added and one from a previous calculation's carry. This process enables organized and systematic addition.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a bank account where you are summing deposits over time. You have your current balance (the carry from the previous transaction), your new deposit (the first number), and another deposit (the second number). You keep track of what you have in total as you process each addition.

The basic principles of binary subtraction include the following:
1. 0 β 0 = 0.
2. 1 β 0 = 1.
3. 1 β 1 = 0.
4. 0 β 1 = 1 with a borrow of 1 from the next more significant bit.
Detailed Explanation
Binary subtraction, much like addition, follows straightforward rules. Subtracting zero from a number keeps it unchanged, while subtracting one leads to borrowing from a higher digit. This borrowing is essential for making the operation valid, especially when the minuend (the number from which another is subtracted) is smaller.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a cookie jar with 1 cookie. If someone asks for 1 cookie, you can take one (1 - 1 = 0). If someone asks for 1 more cookie while the jar is empty (0 - 1), you need to borrow a cookie from your next jar (like borrowing from the next significant bit) to fulfill that request.
Three-bit Subtraction Operations

The subtraction operation produces the difference output and borrow-out, if any. The entries in Table 3.2 can be explained by recalling the basic rules of binary subtraction mentioned above.
Detailed Explanation
When performing binary subtraction with three bits, you again consider the minuend and subtrahend along with any borrow from previous calculations. This helps keep track of any adjustments needed when subtracting.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're doing chores and owe a sibling some chores (like borrowing). If you need to subtract your completed chores from what you owe, and you realize you donβt have enough to fulfill it, you have to borrow more chores from next weekβs list to cover that limit.
