The observations and calculations made in the laboratory experiment demonstrated that both manual and circuit addition and subtraction are effective and accurate when it comes to adding and subtracting 4-bit binary numbers. The laboratory experiment showed that circuits can be utilized to simplify and decrease the time needed to perform each individual binary addition and subtraction calculation.

A significantchallenge is how proper assessments can be conducted fairly. Academic practice is affectedsignificantly by the symbiotic relationship between the increasing number of onlineexaminations and contract cheating services. For instance, controlling the online assessmentenvironment is more challenging than controlling the onsite one. Cheating in a remotelyproctored online testing (RPOT) environment is a planned undertaking rather than panic cheatingbecause students complete their exams in isolation in their comfort zone [4].

Ideally, design and development engineers should interact with theproduct information to properly capture the products operational space and features [1].
