- It is easier for the processer to detect the overflow in unsigned binary addition just by checking if the carry-out of the leftmost column is a zero or one. If the left column is “1”, overflow is detected.
- When two singed 2’s complement numbers are added, overflow is detected in the case if
- Both the operands are positive and the result is negative or
- Both the operands are negative and the result is positive...
