We are presented with 1970 and 2234. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 3 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 1970 + 2234 = 4204.
