i want to add two numbers without using addition operator.i have tried my hand in solving the problem by using bitwise operators.but the solution worked for few numbers and when i tried the same code for different input i failed to achieve the result.could u help me in this regard??

Please post your code, so that we can see what is going on.

Have you ever studied Boolean Algebra? You could get the bit patterns for two numbers and add them the hard way, just like the CPU does. See if this makes any sense at all: http://thalia.spec.gmu.edu/~pparis/classes/notes_101/node109.html

Frankly, this sounds like a ton of fun to implement ... make HalfAdder and FullAdder objects, chain them together. Extremely geeky.

a ton of fun for you maybe I have studied boolean math and yuk - lets not and say we did
