Question 34
Easy

A retro game engine uses an 8-bit unsigned register to store the speed of a player's character. The character's base speed is represented by the binary value 11010100211010100_2110101002​. When the player collects a speed-boosting item, the value 010011112 01001111_2\,010011112​ is added to the speed register.

The hardware performs the addition shown below:

11010100
01001111+
100100011

Explain what has occurred as a result of this calculation, and describe how this affects the stored speed value.
