  • 4. Two half adders can be combined to form a full adder with no additional gates.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 6. Signed binary numbers have one bit that represents the sign, with the remaining bits representing the magnitude.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
