A half adder has less components, and may therefore be cheaper. So, in cases where all you need is a half adder, it may be more convenient to use a half adder. Or it may be more convenient to mass-produce only the full adders, since a full adder can work as a half-adder as well.Also, in introductory electronics textbooks, the half-adder would be introduced first, just because it is simpler.

Do you mean :- how to get full adders by using half-adders? For this question refer following answer - A full-adder can be obtained by combining two half-adders and one or gate. Details on full-adder and half-adder can be referenced from following link http://www.fullchipdesign.com/fulladder.htm
A half adder has 2 inputs and 2 outputs, these are usually called something like: Ain, Bin, Sout, Cout.A full adder has 3 inputs and 2 outputs, these are usually called something like: Ain, Bin, Cin, Sout, Cout.A & B are the 2 bits to be added, C is the carry bit, and S is the sum bit. A half adder cannot propagate carry as it has no carry input, a full adder canpropagate carry. A full adder can be built from 2 half adders.
asdfghjkl;' s-sum and c'-carry see for half adder s=a(xor)b and c'=ab for full adder s=a(xor)b(xor)c and c=ab+bc+ac or ab+c(a(xor)b) we can convert two half adder to full adder with help of and or gate. . . ! we got two half adder * for first half adder input is a and b therefore. . .s=a(xor)b and c'=ab * for second half adder input is a(xor)b and c therefore. . .s=a(xor)b(xor)c and c' is (a(xor)b)c note: now connect the c' of first half adder and second half adder to 'or' gate resulting is ab+c(a(xor)b)
A full adder takes two inputs plus carry in and produces one output plus carry out. You need four full adders to add two 4 bit words. (No half adders required.)Or: for the lowest bit you can use a half-adder (no input carry).
No.
