Basic Arithmetic Logic Unit Theory of Operation

So far, we've covered a number of different combination logic circuits, each one performing their own unique function.
But what if you just wanted one circuit who's function could be determined on the fly?
That's where the arithmetic logic unit (or ALU) comes in.
There are many ways of creating an ALU, and different functions can be baked into an ALU, so in this video, I'm just going over the basics, as well as building a very basic yet versatile ALU that you can use right out the gate.
If you like the tutorials I produce and want to ensure I am able to produce more, consider supporting my channel on patreon: / n00b_asaurus
Pledging just a dollar not only supports my channel, but it gets you access to my patreon feed, which is where I post project updates almost daily.
With higher tiers, you'll also get the ability to participate in the development cycle, get shout-outs in my videos, participate in Q&As, and even suggest a project.
Thank you for your consideration!

that adder came straight outta minecraft, i can SMELL it

[@n00b_asaurus]

I mean, yes?
The adder is just your basic run of the mill adder.
The ALU however I did make in minecraft first.
It's a simple ALU that's easy to wrap your head around. So I figured it'd make a great starting point to learn the basics :)
