Q

Definition of truth table

A

a method of checking the output from a logic circuit; a truth table lists all the possible binary input combinations and their associated outputs; the number of outputs will depend on the number of inputs; for example, two inputs have 2 to the 2 (4) possible binary combinations, three inputs have 2 to the three (8) possible binary combinations, and so on
