What is the function of the carry-out (Cout) in a 4-bit binary adder?
💡 Hint: Think of when binary addition results in a value greater than 15.
True or False: The line of code assign {Cout, Sum} = A + B + Cin; can only handle 8-bit outputs.
💡 Hint: Review what is being added in this line.

Can you modify the 4-bit adder to include an optional carry in from a previous low bit adder and explain how the implementation would change?
💡 Hint: Reflect on how carry propagation works in multi-bit addition.
Design a Verilog module for a 4-bit binary subtractor using similar principles to the 4-bit adder.
