2.4 – Boolean logic Flashcards
What is the operator ^
Exponentiation
(to the power of)
The operator: AND
Works by only returning TRUE if both values being compared are true
What is Binary Data Representation?
Patterns of 1s and 0s used to represent all forms of data in a digital format
Operator: DIV
Integer division
Returns a whole number only from a division without rounding
eg. 10 DIV 3 would give 3
What is a Logic Diagram?
A method of showing Boolean Logic in a diagram using a set of symbols called logic gates
(the circuits, including AND OR NOT)
Operator: MOD
Modulus
Returns the remainder left over from integer division
eg. 10 MOD 3 would give 1
Operator: NOT
NOT works by returning FALSE if the input is TRUE and vice versa
Operator: OR
OR returns TRUE as long as either value being compared is TRUE
What is a Truth Table?
The output of a logic gate/circuit for all possible combinations of inputs
What would the value of x be in:
x = “6” + “5”
65
They are both strings so are joined together instead of being added
6 + 5 = 11, “6” + “5” = 65
What is the value of x when:
x = 6 - 5
1
What is the value of x when:
x = 6*5
30
* is a multiplier
What is the value of x when:
x = 6/5
1.2
/ is a divide operator
