1. Which of the following arithmetic operations are done by using the adder in some way?

          addition         subtraction          multiplication         division

2. Perform binary addition on the following two numbers, showing all the carries...

                   0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1
                 + 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1
                 -----------------

3. Now add these two numbers, showing all carries:

                   1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1
                 + 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
                 -----------------

4. If we treat the two numbers above as though they were 2's complement numbers, are they negative or positive?

5. In general, a bit pattern (string of 1s and 0s) that starts with a 1 is negative in 2's complement. Is it true that if we look at this bit pattern as an unsigned binary number, it will be larger than the absolute magnitude of its 2's complement interpretation?

6. If we get a carry out from adding two 2's complement negative numbers, was there an overflow error?

7. What about if we get a carry out from adding two 2's complement positive numbers? Is this an overflow error?
