Name: Anish Choudhury

Date: 9-Sep-2022

I received assistance from: Mrs. Jang

I assisted: NO ONE

Section 1

Question 1: Describe the general process for executing addition, regardless of base.

For example, 12 + 15. It becomes 27 because of combining the last and first digits together.

Section 2

Question 1: What special factors need to be considered when executing addition with octal numbers?

For Octal adding, you have to ignore the numbers that have 8 and 9 because they are not in the octal system.

Section 3

Question 1: What special factors need to be considered when executing additon with hexadecimal numbers?

For hexadecimal adding, the letters, ABCDEF, are between 9 and 10.

Section 4

Question 1: What special factors need to be considered when executing addition with binary numbers?

For Binary adding, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 10, 1 + 1 + 1 = 1, 0 + 0 = 0

What did I learn? What is the "big idea"?

I learned how to add with alternative bases.

What challenges did I encounter?

I encountered challlenges when I got to binary and hexadecimal.

How could this experience be improved?

This experience could be improved by doing hexadecimal and binary problems in class.

Free Reflection: How has what I've learned affected my thinking?

I now realize that computers use so many complex languages and understand it easily.
