Contd…..

• The three basic logic gates: AND, OR and NOT.

• Construct truth tables for logic circuits.
• Use truth tables to prove Boolean theorems.
• Express the output of a logic circuit using a Boolean expression.
LOGICAL OPERATIONS

• The OR operation “+”: written A+B.

• The AND operation “*” : written A* B or AB.
• The complement, called NOT, or inverse.
TRUTH TABLE

• Operations are defined in terms of truth tables.

• Each element assigned a truth value of 1(“true”) or 0 (“false”).
• Four possible combinations of truth values for two elements.
