adding binary numbers
The term adding binary numbers refers to a method (METH) of processing information (INFO) in mathematics (MATH). It is the basic computation in computer science (COMP)
To add the binary numbers 11 and 10 (which represent decimal 3 and 2), a computer or processor uses column-by-column binary addition from right to left:

Step-by-Step Addition
1. Line up the numbers vertically:
text
11 (binary for 3)
+ 10 (binary for 2)
----
Use code with caution.
2. Add the rightmost column (1 + 0):
• 1 + 0 = 1
• Write down 1 in the rightmost position.

3. Add the next column (1 + 1):
• 1 + 1 = 10 in binary (which means write 0 and carry over 1 to the next column).
(Vedantu)
4. Bring down the carry:
• The carried-over 1 drops down into the next position.
Final Result
• The resulting binary sum is 101 (which equals decimal 4 + 0 + 1 = 5).
