How it works
Our implementation of the multiplier took in two 4-inputs, m and q, and produced an 8-bit output, p, representing their product. We then genereated partial products by ANDing each bit of m with all bits of q and used a series of full adders, to sum these partial products. Each adder handled the addition of bits and carry-out/carry-in signals from the previous stage, ensuring proper alignment of the products.
How to test
We parse in an 8-bit value which is split into 2 4-bit values to generate m(bits 8 to 5), and q(bits 4 to 1). These two values are then multiplied to produce our product p.
