What is column addition (or long addition)

Column addition and long addition typically refer to the same method of adding multi-digit numbers by aligning them vertically and adding the digits column by column. Both terms are often used interchangeably. The process involves starting from the rightmost column (units place) and moving towards the left, carrying over any excess values to the next column.
