Exercises
- Using your favorite programming language, develop a simulation of a single-digit decimal adder that operates in the same manner as in Babbage's Analytical Engine. First, prompt the user for two digits in the range 0-9: the addend and the accumulator. Display the addend, the accumulator, and the carry, which is initially zero. Perform a series of cycles as follows:
a. If the addend is zero, display the values of the addend, accumulator, and carry and terminate the program.
b. Decrement the addend by one and increment the accumulator by one.
c. If the accumulator incremented from nine to zero, increment the carry.
d. Go back to step a.
Test your code with these sums: 0+0, 0+1, 1+0, 1+2, 5+5, 9+1, and 9+9.
- Create arrays of 40 decimal digits each for the addend, accumulator, and carry. Prompt the user for two decimal integers of up to 40 digits each. Perform the addition digit by digit using the cycles described in Exercise 1, and collect the carry output from...
