Why aren't the values from my arrays passing though my full bit adder - python-3.x

Question

# 8-bit-binary adder
#if you have questions about the code just ask
# arrays and funtions
Array1 = []
Array2 = []
#Input A and Validation
def vaildNumberA():
a = int(input("Enter your A value:"))
if (a < 0):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input A")
elif (a > 255):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input A")
else:
Array1 = [int(x) for x in list('{0:08b}'.format(a))]
#Input B and Validation
def vaildNumberB():
b = int(input("Enter your B value:"))
if (b < 0):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input B")
elif (b > 255):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input B")
else:
Array2 = [int(x) for x in list('{0:08b}'.format(b))]

for index, in range(len(Array1)):

return list(reversed(sumof))
calculateSum(Array1,Array2)
def main(Array1,Array2):
vaildNumberA()
vaildNumberB()
while True:
a = Array1
b = Array2
total = calculateSum(list(reversed(Array1)),list(reversed(Array2)))
print(total)
quit = input("if want to quit type q: ")
if quit == 'q':
break
main(Array1,Array2)
in the send it prints 0

The only problem in your code is that you need to return Array1 and Array2 from your functions and assign them inside the while true loop, once you do that the code works fine.
The updated code will be
# 8-bit-binary adder
#if you have questions about the code just ask
# arrays and funtions
Array1 = []
Array2 = []
#Input A and Validation
def vaildNumberA():
Array1 = []
a = int(input("Enter your A value:"))
if (a < 0):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input A")
elif (a > 255):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input A")
else:
Array1 = [int(x) for x in list('{0:08b}'.format(a))]
#Return the array
return Array1
#Input B and Validation
def vaildNumberB():
Array2 = []
b = int(input("Enter your B value:"))
if (b < 0):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input B")
elif (b > 255):
print("Please Enter A Valid Number For Input B")
else:
Array2 = [int(x) for x in list('{0:08b}'.format(b))]
#Return the array
return Array2
# AND Gate
def AND (a,b):
if (a == 1 and b == 1):
return 1
else:
return 0
#OR Gate
def OR(a,b):
if (a == 1 or b == 1):
return 1
else:
return 0
#XOR Gate
def XOR (a,b):
if (a == b):
return 0
else:
return 1
#carry formula
def carryformula(a,b,c,d):
return OR(AND(a,b), AND(c,d))
# this is where the calculation should be done
#formula for sum
def calculateSum(Array1,Array2):
carry = ""
sumof = []
for index in range(len(Array1)):
list2 = Array2[index]
sec_xor_form = XOR(Array1[index],Array2[index])
sumof.append(XOR(sec_xor_form,carry))
carry = carryformula(Array1[index],Array2[index],sec_xor_form,carry)
return list(reversed(sumof))
#No need of a main function
while True:
#Call the function from within the while True loop
Array1 = vaildNumberA()
Array2 = vaildNumberB()
total = calculateSum(list(reversed(Array1)),list(reversed(Array2)))
print(total)
quit = input("if want to quit type q: ")
if quit == 'q':
break
And the output will look like
Enter your A value:5
Enter your B value:5
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]
if want to quit type q: 7
Enter your A value:9
Enter your B value:8
[0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1]
....
