Hi, I need some help with this question

Q1:

I am a bit confused on how to solve this.
Thanks!

Mos teger dato t programming languages have a built-in in type. Normally, this representation has a fixed size, thus placing a limit on how large a value can be stored in an integer variable. Describe a representation for integers that has no size restriction (other than the limits of the computer's available main memory), and thus no practical limit on how large an integer can be stored. Briefly show how your representation can be used to implement the operations of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation

Explanation / Answer

0+0 = 0, with no carry,
1+0 = 1, with no carry,
0+1 = 1, with no carry,
1+1 = 0, and you carry a 1.

For the addition of large values of the integer an overflow bit will occur. If the integer is size restricted, then it is unable to store the overflow bit.
