The basic Boolean/logical operations used in Boolean Algebra are AND, OR and NOT, which are symbolically represented

by dot (.), plus (+) and over the bar:

A AND B = A.B = AB = A & B

A OR B = A+B = A | B

NOT A = = A

Definition: AND operator () / Boolean Multiplication ()

AND operation says if and only if all inputs are ON (1), the output will be ON (1).

The output will be OFF (0) if any of the inputs are OFF (0).

Definition: NOT operator () / Boolean Complementation

()

NOT operation says that the output will be opposite in state to the input.

It obviously has only one input and one output.

Definition

A Truth Table shows how a logic circuits output responds to various combinations of the inputs,
using logic 1 for TRUE and logic 0 for FALSE.
n

n variable requires a table with 2 rows.

The term Gate is used to describe the members of a set of basic electronic components which, when combined with each
other, are able to perform complex logical and arithmetic operations.
