How to Implement a Multiply Using Just Logic Gates
A multiplier can be implemented just by combining a whole bunch of adders together in a very careful way, and also including a few extra logicates to er account for those multiplying by zero or times one. In fact, that's what multiplication is, as just iterated addition. Now let's shift geres slightly and talk about the clock generator. This is not exactly a logic component, but it is crucial for the operation of the other logic components inside the computer. And so i wanted to talk about it here. It's just a lotAdders put together. More or less, you can use this algorism of partial products to turn multiplication into addition. That might not make a
