    The resultant integer (decimal number) exceeds 3 bits.

    Explanation:

    The computer program uses 3 bits of the 4 bits of the computer system, counting from the least significant bit.

    The decimal number 6 and 2 are "0110" and "0010"respectively, represented by the computer system.

    The computer program represents the 6 and 2 with 3 bits from the least significant bit (that is, it counts from the right). so 6 and 2 becomes 110 and 010 respectively.

    = 6 + 2 = 8

    = "110" + "010" = "1000"

    Adding 6 and 2 gives 8 represented as "1000" by the computer system, but the computer program represents as "000"
