Q
What is a clock signal?
A
Signal from the computers internal clock that is provided by another circuit that changes state at times intervals - or pulses.
A computer’s internal clock synchronises the state changes facilitated by flip-flop circuits.

Q
What is a D-type flip-flop
A
It’s a positive edge-triggered flip-flop circuit, meaning the output can only be changed if the clock pulse is at a rising or positive edge. I
