Okay, we are tasked with adding 1238 and 2228. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 1 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 1238 + 2228 = 3466.
