THEORY - HALF ADDER:
Half Adder: A half adder is a logical circuit that performs an addition operation on two binary
digits. The half adder produces a sum and a carry value which are both binary digits.

PROCEDURE:
Collect the components necessary to accomplish this experiment.
Plug the IC chip into the breadboard.
Connect the supply voltage and ground lines to the
chips. PIN7 = Groundand PIN14 = +5V.
According to the pin diagram of each IC, make the connections according to the
circuit diagram.
Connect the inputs of the gate to the input switches of the LED.
Connect the output of the gate to the output LEDs.
Once all connections have been done, turn on
the power switch of the breadboard
Operate the switches and fill in the truth table (Write "1" if LED is ON and
"0" if the LED is OFF. Apply the various combinations of inputs according to the
truth table and observe the condition of Output LEDs.
