We have learned from the article “addition of 2’s complement signed binary numbers” that overflow occurs if the carries into and out of MSB are different. In this article, we will solve some examples that highlight how to detect overflow and how to avoid overflow. Example: Perform the following binary addition in 2’s complement arithmetic….
In an earlier article, we learned about 2’s complement addition. In this article, we will discuss how to perform 1’s complement addition. We will consider the same example that is taken for the 2’s complement addition. Important Rule: Add the two numbers using the basic rules of binary addition. If there is a carry out…

Many a time, overflow in a binary addition seems like a final carry generation. However, overflow leads to an incorrect sum, whereas carry does not. This is a little confusing if not understood correctly. So, let’s understand the overflow concept clearly. Imagine you have a half-tea-filled cup. Your friend has a jar with some amount…
Addition and subtraction of 2’s complement signed binary numbers are important learning concepts, as digital computers use 2’s complement representation. 2’s complement arithmetic follows all the basic rules of binary arithmetic. However, a few tricks need to be learned so that we can get the correct result in its 2’s complement form. This article discusses…
