    • Using “5” bits, the largest positive value can be represented is “+15”.
    • But, the result of the adding “+10” and “+12” is larger than the positive result that the ALU can produce using “5” bits.
    • When adding the positive numbers “10” and “12’, the carry is created at the Most Significant Bit (MSB) but MSB is used to indicate the sign of the positive integer...
