Ring:A ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a set
equipped with two binary operations, usually addition
andmultiplication. It has the following characteristics.
Commutativity of
Addition:Addition is commutative, meaning that a +
b = b + a for all a and b in the ring.
Existence of Additive
Inverses:For every element a in the ring, there
exists an element -a such that a + (-a) = 0.
Closure under
Multiplication:For any two elements a and b
in the ring, the product a * b is also in the ring.
Distributive Property:Multiplication
distributes over addition, meaning that a * (b + c) = (a * b) +
(a * c) and (b + c) * a = (b * a) + (c * a) for all a, b, and c in the
ring.
Example:
Z2={0,1}
+2 0 1
0 0 1
1 1 0
Closure: 0,1€Z2 0+1=1€Z2
Commutative: 0+1=1=1+0 holds
Associative: obviously holds
Additive identity: 1+0=1=0+1 1€Z2 holds
Inverse: 1+1=0=1+1 0€Z2
Multiplicative properties:-
×2 0 1
0 0 0
1 0 1
Closure: 0,1€Z2 0×1=0=1×0 0€Z2
Associative: obviously holds
Distributive laws: obviously holds
So Z2 is a example of ring with unity.
Associativity:-
Both addition and multiplication in a ring with unity are
associative operations. This means that for any three
elements a, b, and c in the ring, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and (a
* b) * c = a * (b * c).
Commutativity of Addition:-
In a ring with unity, addition is commutative, which means
that for any two elements a and b in the ring, a + b = b + a.
Existence of Identity:-
A ring with unity must have an identity element (often
denoted as 1) for multiplication. This means that there exists
an element 1 in the ring such that for any element a in the
ring, a * 1 = 1 * a = a.
Distributive Property:-
A ring with unity satisfies the distributive property, which
relates addition and multiplication. For any three elements a,
b, and c in the ring, a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c) and (a + b) * c
= (a * c) + (b * c).
Additive Inverse:-
Every element a in a ring with unity has an additive inverse,
denoted as -a, such that a + (-a) = (-a) + a = 0, where 0 is the
additive identity of the ring.
EXAMPLE:-
ℤ is a mathematical example of a ring with unity, where the
set of integers satisfies all the defining properties of a ring.

So Z2 is a example of ring with unity.
Characteristics of integral
domain:-
An integral domain is a fundamental algebraic structure in
abstract algebra. It is a commutative ring with unity (a
multiplicative identity) that has certain additional properties.
Here are the key characteristics of an integral domain:
Examples:-
Example of integral domains include the set of integers (ℤ),
the set of rational numbers (ℚ), and the set of real numbers
(ℝ) under the usual operations of addition and
multiplication. It's important to note that not all rings are
integral domains; rings that do not satisfy the no zero divisors
property are called non-integral domains or rings with zero
divisors.
