And what about A + 1. when K = 1 and C0 = 0 ?? 0 0 replyShare Anu007 commented Nov 3, 2017 reply Follow flag yes A+B when k= 1 and c=0 A+1 again cannot perform. with AND gate we can perform that A-B is also not perform. 2 2 replyShare joshi_nitish commented Nov 3, 2017 reply Follow flag And what about A + 1. when K = 1 and C0 = 0 ?? it will not perform A+1 in this case, instead it will perform A-1.... it will be like, an-1an-2an-3.....a0 + 1111.....11 // all 1's in 2's complement represent -1, so finally it will be an-1an-2an-3.....a0 - 1 = A-1 8 8 replyShare Rishabh Gupta 2 commented Nov 3, 2017 reply Follow flag Thanks :) 1 1 replyShare neeraj_bhatt commented Nov 5, 2019 reply Follow flag @joshi_nitish The A-1 part was really good.
