Introduction
Placeholder for if there is anything to learn about this
Addition
Just line them up and do the work
1111 101101 + 111101 ------ 1101010
I guess the only thing which is a trick, is that three 1's is 1 carry 1.
Subtraction
So this is something I perhaps did not notice that borrowing is done in 2's as each column has 2 values. So
2 100 - 10 --- 10
This perhaps is shown more clear when we borrow over two columns
1 2 100 - 1 --- 11
Hopefully the picture paints a thousand words

When we borrow we always borrow two.
