Description
While it is possible to do it in fewer components this uses fewer NAND gates (basically we swapped 16 full adders for 16 half adders, because we're adding only a single bit to a 16 bit number, rather than two 16 bit numbers: we just need to ripple the carry across as needed, since the other 15 bits of the second input value are always going to be 0).
This saves something like 432 NAND gates across the whole computer.
