adders add nos in the ic.
half adder has only 2 inputs and an output but a full adder has 14 ( 2bit full adder) or 16 (4 bit full adder) pins. for 4 bit one: it takes 2 inputs (from 1--> 8:2 to the power of 8 ) and it has 4 outputs.
a fulladder takes the carry in to account as well...u dont have to add one or have the carry as one of the inputs but u have to do this if ur using a half adder.

also half adders rnt used much.. ive never seen any place taht sells it + in the TTL guide it says nothing about half adders.. u can use a full adder but only a couple inputs that u want.
