Q10 / 100
What is the difference between a "half adder" and a "full adder"?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) A full adder accepts an additional carry-in input (from a previous stage) along with the two operand bits, while a half adder only adds two bits with no carry-in
A
Correct Answer
A full adder accepts an additional carry-in input (from a previous stage) along with the two operand bits, while a half adder only adds two bits with no carry-in
Explanation
Full adders can be chained together (ripple carry) to add multi-bit numbers because each stage accepts a carry-in from the previous stage, which half adders cannot do.
