Boolean Logic Flashcards
What is inside the CPU?
A CPU is made up of different types of gates that carry out certain tasks, some of these are AND, NOT and OR gates.
What is Boolean
Boolean is a variable that has two states, 1 and 0.
What is Boolean Logic?
Similar to regular logic however, it works on 1s and 0s
What is a truth table?
A truth table is a way of displaying all the possible outputs of a circuit depending on the state of gates.
How would you describe an AND gate?
Two inputs with a ‘D’ shape, remembered by the ‘D’ in AND
How would you describe an OR gate?
Two inputs with an arrow head shape.
How would you describe a NOT gate?
One input, a triangle with a small circle on the end.
How would an AND gate reach an output of 1?
Both inputs have to be on for the output to be on.
How would an AND gate reach an output of 1?
Both or one inputs must be off for the output to be off
How would an OR gate reach an output of 1?
Both or one input must be on for the output to be on
