a type of circuit used in computers. there are two types of adders, half and full. the only difference between the 2 types is that the full adder accepts the carry from the last stage. the half adder has no such input and is used on the least significant bit of the two bytes to be added. the carry out of the last stage will set a bit called a flag in the control register.

see most significant bit, ADD.
