  2. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    On a single-step or immediate-execution calculator, the user presses a key for each operation, calculating all the intermediate results, before the final value is shown. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] On an expression or formula calculator , one types in an expression and then presses a key, such as "=" or "Enter", to evaluate the expression.

  3. Arithmetic logic unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_logic_unit

    The opcode input is a parallel bus that conveys to the ALU an operation selection code, which is an enumerated value that specifies the desired arithmetic or logic operation to be performed by the ALU. The opcode size (its bus width) determines the maximum number of distinct operations the ALU can perform; for example, a four-bit opcode can ...

  4. Adder (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_(electronics)

    A full adder can be viewed as a 3:2 lossy compressor: it sums three one-bit inputs and returns the result as a single two-bit number; that is, it maps 8 input values to 4 output values. (the term "compressor" instead of "counter" was introduced in [13])Thus, for example, a binary input of 101 results in an output of 1 + 0 + 1 = 10 (decimal ...

    It employed ordinary base-10 fixed-point arithmetic. [9] There was to be a store (that is, a memory) capable of holding 1,000 numbers of 40 decimal digits [15] each (ca. 16.6 kB). An arithmetic unit (the "mill") would be able to perform all four arithmetic operations, plus comparisons and optionally square roots. [16]

    A further step would be to change the 2-to-1 multiplex on A to a 4-to-1 with the third input being zero, then replicating this on B i thus yielding the following output functions: 0 (with both the A i and B i inputs set to zero and D = 0) 1 (with both the A i and B i inputs set to zero and D = 1) A (with the B i input set to zero) B (with the A ...

    All of the logic functions of a calculator had been squeezed into the first "calculator on a chip" integrated circuits (ICs) in 1971, but this was leading edge technology of the time and yields were low and costs were high. Many calculators continued to use two or more ICs, especially the scientific and the programmable ones, into the late 1970s.

    The input section is moved with the end crank until the lefthand digits of the two numbers line up. The operation crank is turned and the divisor is subtracted from the accumulator repeatedly until the left hand (most significant) digit of the result is 0.if it shows any other number, that is the remainder.

  9. Fredkin gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredkin_gate

    A generalized n × n Fredkin gate passes its first n − 2 inputs unchanged to the corresponding outputs and swaps its last two outputs if and only if the first n − 2 inputs are all 1. Controlled-SWAP Logic: The Fredkin gate, a three-bit controlled-SWAP gate, operates by conditionally swapping two target bits based on the state of a control bit.
