This is a simple Java based binary calculator based on software emulated gates. Our application will support up to 8 bit binary values supporting addition and subtraction of any value within 8 bits.

The project is split into three portions:

• The Adder
• The Complementor
• The Registers

Each of these systems will be developed in a separate branch and merged when each branch has completed their work.

Data Exchange between classes

• Any data that will be exchanged between two or more parts of the program will be sent as an array of 8 boolean values.
• True representing a 1 and false representing a 0 in bolean values.
• The left most column of the array, position 0 in Java will represent the most significant digit of our binary number.

Expectations of classes

• The adder will blindly add any two numbers and return the result in an array

  • If the application is subtracting two numbers the adder will be passed a properly sighned value so that the resulltant is correct

• The complementor will perform any complemtning steps necesary as well as performing a twos complement operation if subtraction is to be carried out

• The register will support three different registers

  • The subtrahend or addend
  • The minuend or addend
  • The summand
