Boolean Logic

Logic gates, circuits, truth tables and logic expressions — truth-table questions are marked row-by-row, which rewards a careful method over a fast guess.

Boolean logic

  • Identify and use the standard symbols for logic gates.
  • Define and understand the functions of logic gates: NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR (EOR) — the binary output produced from all possible binary inputs. NOT is single-input; all others are limited to two inputs.
  • Use logic gates to create given logic circuits (max three inputs, one output, drawn without simplification) from a problem statement, a logic expression, or a truth table.
  • Complete a truth table from a problem statement, a logic expression, or a logic circuit.
  • Write a logic expression from a problem statement, a logic circuit, or a truth table.
