Talk:Four bit adder: Difference between revisions

::: Look, it's not my word: the C example called the inputs "pins" and the assignment statement "V", what was I supposed to infer? The desc does use the word "simulate", btw. I don't really care if you simulate a voltage or water pressure, the matter is task description does seem to want some reasonable simulation despite wasting a lot of effort talking about how one should use bit mask as input/output values. The C code along with some translated code did the task without a remotely systematic way of simulating a circuit (can you verify input pins are all with valid values? how much work is it change the code to do a 128 bit adder instead of 4?), it's ironic to call this a simulation. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 23:23, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

::::Ok, and the task does say "chip" which would also imply electronics. But I would also draw a distinction between other languages in general (some of which have implementations where the 128 bit adder is trivial) and the C implementation in specific (which I have not studied). Still... if the task meant for physics to be simulated, instead of logic, I imagine it would have said something about the way physics was supposed to be simulated? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 01:04, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
