Okay, we are tasked with adding 1218 and 8008. 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 1 & 0 in column 2 and get 2.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 3 and get 2.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 8 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 1218 + 8008 = 9226.
