calculator using booleans
I want to undertake a project for my own learning. What I want to do is to make a calculator (I'm using VC++ 2008 by the way) that will use booleans to do the calculations (to 'simulate' bits in an actual calculator or computer, or whatever). Yes, I know that c++ has built-in functions and headers to do math, but I want to do it myself. Can anyone refer me to a resource where I could find how such calculations are done? I can currently multiply by powers of 2 by shifting bits (or booleans in this case), but I don't know how I would do any other operations.
Thanks

Re: calculator using booleans
note booleans are in constraint of C++ rules.
booleans are always 1 or 0 true or false.
so you cannot multiply a boolean.
You are saying you have 2 bit sets and you want to perform calcultaions on them
Re: calculator using booleans
Judging from your post, you probably want to implement binary number multiplication,
addition, and so on (subtraction, division).
