Function: sum = LSB of a + b + c
carry = MSB of a + b + c

With just this information I am going to try to figure out the chip construction.
B and C are an Xor gate for sum and a and gate for carry. I think A would be
a sel bit
The hint from the book says it can be made with two half adder’s and another simple gate.

A in the carry in for this adder. This was a little bit harder then is should have been. I think the variables used in the book need to be more clear on what they are for. I looked up a full adder in another book I had and it said it is two inputs and a carry in.
