How to Add Binary Numbers

The video tutorial explains how to add binary numbers using three basic rules. It provides a step-by-step example of binary addition, emphasizing the importance of aligning columns correctly. The tutorial also discusses potential overflow errors when the result exceeds the memory capacity, and suggests verifying results by converting binary numbers to decimal.

What is the result of adding 1 and 1 in binary?

• 1

• 11

• 0

• 10

Why is it important to keep binary numbers aligned in columns during addition?

• To make the numbers look neat

• To avoid calculation errors

• To save paper

• To make it easier to read

In the example, what is the binary result of adding 1 + 1 + 1?

• 101

• 100

• 11

• 10

What should you do if you have time during an exam to ensure your binary addition is correct?

• Use a calculator

• Ask a friend

• Convert the numbers to decimal and check

• Rewatch the tutorial

What is an overflow error in binary addition?

• When the result is negative

• When the result is too small

• When the result is zero

• When the result exceeds the storage capacity

How many bits long is the result of the binary addition example given in the tutorial?

• 8 bits

• 9 bits

• 7 bits

• 10 bits

What is a potential consequence of an overflow error in a computer program?

• The program becomes more secure

• The program uses less memory

• The program may crash

• The program runs faster
