what is 2+2?
ceptimus said:Lots of possible answers:
Using the + symbol as a Logical OR, the answer is 2
In base 3 the answer is 11
In base 4 the answer is 10
In every other possible base, the 'normal' answer is 4
I'm sure there are many other possibilities...

TenaliRaman said:e.g "5 in base 10" is "101 in base 2"
note that : 1*2^2 + 0*2 + 1 = 5
ceptimus said:The 'ultimate' low base is base 2 where only two symbols are used: 0,1
check said:In base 1
TenaliRaman said:One can even have negative bases as well (! Now u see why i wrote abs(r) in my earlier definition :) ).
A very nice base and the one used infrequently is the base -2 representation. The symbols used for this representations are 0 and 1 with their usual weights 0 and 1.
e.g,
1 = 1
0 = 0
11 = -1
10 = -2
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 2
and so on...

TenaliRaman said:Bob,
haven't got much time now ...
see if this helps,
abs(-2) = 2
so we can use two different symbols (say a and b and i will assign them values 0 and 1 but why not we use 0 and 1 themselves as symbols ... so we use 0 and 1 as symbols instead of a and b)
now 110 in base -2 ... so in base 10 it would be,
1*(-2)^2 + 1*(-2) + 0 = 2
so we see that 110 in base -2 is 2 in base 10
in this way numbers can be represented in base -2 ...
if any problems post again and i will try to detail things out...

The answer to 2+2 is 4. This is a basic mathematical equation that involves adding two numbers together to get a total of 4.
To calculate 2+2, you simply add the two numbers together. In this case, you would add 2 and 2, which equals 4.
Yes, 2+2 will always equal 4. This is a fundamental principle in mathematics and is true in any scenario.
No, 2+2 will always equal 4. This is a basic mathematical fact that cannot be changed or altered.
Understanding 2+2 is important because it is a basic building block for more complex mathematical equations. It also helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
