William Carroll 92ab94943e Start working on the "Hard" problems
Firstly, implement a function that adds two arguments together... without using
the `+` operator. I need to drill this problem. Thankfully I took a Coursera
course that taught me how to make a half-adder and a full-adder, but the
recommended solution for this is a bit more difficult.
