Question 1

How do you add two binary integers together.

Answer 1

When you add 1 and 1 (in binary) the answer becomes 10 because 10 is 2 in binary. Similarly, 1 add 1 add 1 is equal to 11 because 11 is 3 in binary.

Question 2

What is overflow?

Answer 2

When you add binary values and the result has 9 bits or more. This causes the values to overflow from 8 bits, this causes a wrong answer and the 9th onward bits are lost.
