1. What is a Logic Circuit?

A logic circuit is a digital circuit that performs logical operations on one or more binary inputs to produce a single binary output. These circuits form the building blocks of all digital systems and computers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator evaluates basic logic gates according to their truth tables:

Where:

• Inputs — Binary values (0 or 1)
• Gate Type — The logical operation to perform
• Result — Binary output based on the operation

Explanation: The calculator implements standard truth tables for common logic gates.

3. Importance of Logic Circuits

Details: Logic circuits are fundamental to digital electronics, computer architecture, and all modern computing devices. Understanding them is essential for computer science and electrical engineering.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select input values (0 or 1) and choose a gate type. The calculator will show the result of the logical operation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between AND and NAND gates?
A: AND returns 1 only if both inputs are 1. NAND returns the opposite (NOT AND) - 0 only if both inputs are 1.

Q2: How does XOR differ from OR?
A: OR returns 1 if either or both inputs are 1. XOR returns 1 only if exactly one input is 1 (exclusive OR).

Q3: Can I simulate more complex circuits?
A: This calculator handles single gates. Complex circuits would require chaining multiple gates together.

Q4: What's the practical use of these gates?
A: They're used in everything from simple electronic devices to complex computer processors for decision making and data processing.

Q5: How do these relate to Boolean algebra?
A: Each gate corresponds to a Boolean operator (AND = conjunction, OR = disjunction, NOT = negation).
