- 2. LOGIC GATES Formal logic: In formal logic, a statement (proposition) is a declarative sentence that is either true(1) or false (0). It is easier to communicate with computers using formal logic. • Boolean variable: Takes only two values – either true (1) or false (0). They are used as basic units of formal logic.
- 3. Boolean function and logic diagram • Boolean function: Mapping from Boolean variables to a Boolean value. • Truth table: Represents relationship between a Boolean function and its binary variables. It enumerates all possible combinations of arguments and the corresponding function values.
- 4. Boolean function and logic diagram • Boolean algebra: Deals with binary variables and logic operations operating on those variables. • Logic diagram: Composed of graphic symbols for logic gates. A simple circuit sketch that represents inputs and outputs of Boolean functions.
