Zusammenfassung: | Computer addition is a groupoid. If an additive identity exists it is unique. If(and only if) addition is defined with the compute through the overflow (CTO) property, then a finite ring of integers is the homomorphic image of the computer number system and addition. Stated another way, the necessary and sufficient condition for CTO is a congruence relation on the integers. Also, if the number system has CTO capabilities for addition, it also has extended CTO properties for addition. A technique is presented for determining the correct sum in the extended compute through overflow (ECTO) mode of computation. |
