Today we are going to explore the basic rules of binary addition. Can anyone tell me how addition works in the decimal system?
When you add two numbers, you combine their values, and if it exceeds 9, you carry over.
"Exactly! Now, in binary, we only deal with 0s and 1s. Let's look at the rules:

Now, who can explain what a carry is in binary addition?
A carry occurs when the sum of two bits is greater than 1.
"Right! For example, if we add 1 + 1, we write down 0 and carry over 1. Letβs visualize this with an example:

Today, letβs summarize how we handle three-bit combinations in binary addition. Can someone describe why we need three bits?
To include the carry bit from the previous column!
Correct! Letβs look at Table 3.1. Each row shows the inputs and outputs for combinations of A, B, and a carry-in. Can anyone explain what happens when A and B are both 1?
That would produce a 0 with a carry of 1 to the next column!
Exactly! It's imperative to include this carry-in for accurate addition of larger binary numbers. Remember, practice these combinations to improve your understanding.

Letβs practice! What is 1 + 0 + 1?
That would give us 0 with a carry of 1!
That's the spirit! How about 1 + 1 + 1?
Thatβs also 1 with a carry of 1!
Great! How does this relate to what we learned today?
We need to be careful about carries when adding multiple bits!
Exactly! Letβs ensure we practice consistently to master binary addition. Before we finish, what key points should we take away from today?
To remember the basic rules and the importance of carries!
Well done, everyone! Keep these principles in mind.
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
Binary addition follows similar rules to decimal addition, notably handling values of 0 and 1, as well as the need for carries when adding 1 + 1. This section outlines the basic rules of binary addition, explains the role of carries using three-bit combinations, and sets the groundwork for understanding more complex binary arithmetic.
Detailed
Binary Addition
Binary addition is a crucial aspect of digital arithmetic, echoing many principles from conventional addition in the decimal system. The basic rules are defined as follows:
- 0 + 0 = 0
- 0 + 1 = 1
- 1 + 0 = 1
- 1 + 1 = 0 (with a carry of 1 to the next more significant bit)
- 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 (with a carry of 1 to the next more significant bit)
A summary of the addition results for all three-bit combinations is presented in Table 3.1, which illustrates how carries are processed when adding larger numbers. Furthermore, this section provides an insight into subtraction rules where similar logic applies, creating a strong foundation for understanding binary arithmetic operations comprehensively.

Basic Principles of Binary Addition

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, as the case may be.
Detailed Explanation
In binary addition, just like in decimal, adding 0 to any number does not change that number. If you add 1 to the maximum single digit in binary, which is 1, you get 0 and carry over 1 to the next position. This is similar to how, in decimal, adding 9 + 1 gives 10, where you carry 1 to the next column.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like counting apples. If you have 5 apples and you add 0 apples, you still have 5 apples; but if you add 1 apple, now you have 6. If you reach your maximum, say 1 apple in a binary context, adding one more causes you to reset and move to the next counting column.

We can write the basic rules of binary addition as follows:
1. 0 + 0 = 0.
2. 0 + 1 = 1.
3. 1 + 0 = 1.
4. 1 + 1 = 0 with a carry of β1β to the next more significant bit.
5. 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 with a carry of β1β to the next more significant bit.
Detailed Explanation
Binary addition rules outline how to add binary numbers. The first three rules demonstrate how to add simple combinations of zeros and ones. The fourth rule introduces the concept of carrying, which is essential when the sum exceeds what can be expressed in a single bit, resulting in a carry to the next higher bit.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a light switch. If both switches (1s) are on, you can't have just one light (0) left, and thus, you have to turn off the light and pass the 'on' signal to the next circuit (carry). When you have three switches (1 + 1 + 1), it means you turn the first off and turn on a new light in the circuit (carry to the next position).
Three-Bit Combinations of Binary Addition

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
Three-bit combinations help visualize how binary addition works with the carry-in from the previous less significant bit column. For example, when adding larger binary numbers, you typically work with three bits: two from the numbers being added and one as a carry from a previous addition.
Examples & Analogies
Picture a cashier counting coins. She adds the coins in groups of three: two from customers and one she borrowed from a previous pile. Each time she completes a group of three, she adjusts her count and checks if she needs to hand over coins to the next pile (carry).

Key Concepts
-
Binary Rules: There are specific rules that govern how binary addition is performed, including the handling of carries.
-
Carry Over: A carry-over occurs when the sum of two bits exceeds the binary base, leading to a value in the next column.
-
Three-bit Addition: Practicing addition with three bits allows for better understanding of how carries affect larger sums.
Examples & Real-Life Applications
See how the concepts apply in real-world scenarios to understand their practical implications.
Examples
-
Example: Adding 1010 and 0011:
-
0 + 1 = 1,
-
1 + 0 = 1,
-
1 + 1 = 0 (carry 1),
-
carry 1 + 0 = 1. Result: 1101.
-
Example: Adding 111 and 1 with carry:
-
1 + 1 = 0 (carry 1),
-
1 + 1 + 1 (carry) = 1 (carry 1).
-
Result: 1000.
