A method and processor for evaluating numbers processes components of a pair of input numbers A, B in a plurality of identical gate structures. Each gate structure receives information from two bit positions and operates without carry information or any earlier computations to produce a conditional sum word. A control signal derived from the conditional sum word provides the same evaluation as the actual sum in fewer processing steps. A preferred embodiment produces the sticky hit for a rounding off unit in a floating point processor.
