Saturation arithmetic

Okay, imagine you have a toy box filled with only 5 toys. You want to add 2 more toys to the box, but it can’t hold more than 5 toys. So, what can you do? You can use saturation arithmetic!

Saturation arithmetic is like a toy box that can only hold a certain amount of toys. When you try to add more toys than the box can hold, instead of just adding them and making a mess, saturation arithmetic makes sure that the box stays at its full capacity by not allowing any more toys to be added.

Now, let's say you have some numbers you want to add together, but when you add them up, the result is bigger than the largest number you’re allowed to have. Just like with the toy box, saturation arithmetic makes sure that the result stays at the largest number by not allowing it to go any higher.

So, in simpler terms, saturation arithmetic is like a rule that makes sure you don’t go over the limit when adding things up or putting things together. Just like how a toy box can’t hold more than a certain amount of toys, saturation arithmetic makes sure that numbers don’t go higher than a certain amount.
