    Default the shift left or shift right operator problem

    Write a program that, given two binary numbers represented as strings, prints their sum in binary. The binary strings are comma separated, two per line. The final answer should not have any leading zeroes. In case the answer is zero, just print one zero i.e. 0

    Input:
    Your program should read lines from standard input. Each line contains two binary strings, separated by a comma and no spaces.

    Output:
    For each pair of binary numbers print to standard output their binary sum, one per line.

    THIS IS THE INPUT:
    input 1: 110011,1010
    input 2: 11010,00101001

    THIS IS MY OUTPUT
    out put 1: 111010
    output 2: 01011011

    THIS IS A DESIRE OUTPUT
    output1: 111101
    output2: 1000011

    Default Re: the shift left or shift right operator problem

    Not sure why the code is converting the String's char to int values.
    Why not just work with the String values?
    The add code takes two binary digits and a carry value and computes a new binary digit and a carry value.
    For example:
    "1" + "1" w/o carry gives "0" and a carry
    "1" + "1" with carry gives "1" and a carry
    "1" + "0" w/o carry gives "1" and no carry
    etc

    How do you do it with paper and pencil?
    Start at the rightmost digit and work left.
