The old IBM 1620 did this with an addition table. ie, make two,
two-dimensional arrays (one for "with carry", one without) indexed by
the characters '0' .. '9' to give the sum character. Initialize these
constant arrays yourself from any 1st grade arithmetic text. You'll
also need similar arrays of Boolean to tell if you should generate a
carry.
Just one approach. ;)
