A decimal adder is a circuit or software that performs addition of two numbers represented in a decimal number system. This means that the machine or program interprets each digit of the numbers separately and then combines them to give the final answer.
Let's consider a simple decimal adder with two digits, A and B. The adder takes two binary numbers, A and B, as input and outputs a binary number representing the sum.
Here's how it works:
Convert A and B into decimal numbers (base-10).
This can be done by repeated division by 10 starting from the rightmost digit.
Add the individual digits of A and B separately.
Start with the rightmost digits and work towards the left.
Add the individual digits together to get the final answer.
This can be done by using a carry or a specific technique called carry propagation.
Example:
Let's take the following two decimal numbers:
A = 1011
B = 1101
Adding these numbers together, we get:
1011 + 1101 = 2112
Converting this sum to binary, we get:
2112 = 10010112
Therefore, the sum of A and B is 10010112 in binary
