BOOLEAN LOGIC

CONTENT – REVIEW
Boolean logic: NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, truth table, De Morgan’s laws and logic
circuits
● Number system: Binary, Octal, Decimal and Hexadecimal number system; conversion between
number systems.
● Encoding schemes: ASCII, ISCII and UNICODE (UTF8, UTF32)
BOOLEAN LOGIC
● Boolean logic refers to Boolean Algebra which values of variables are the truth values
True or False. These values have two states either on or off denoted by 0 or 1.
● George Boole invented the first way of manipulating symbolic logic, which later
became known as Boolean Algebra. Because of its vast applications in switching
theory, developing basic electronic circuits, and designing digital computers, Boolean
algebra has become a vital tool in computer science.
1. NOT OPERATION:

It handles only a single variable. The operation performed by NOT is known as

complementation.

A A’

0 1

1 0
2. OR OPERATION:
It is also a binary operator that operates on two variables. The result of the OR operator
is also known as logical addition. The symbol is used for OR is plus (+).
The output is true if either one or two inputs are “true”. IF both false it produce false
result.

X Y X+Y

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 1

3. AND OPERATION:
It is a binary operator that operates on two variables and the result of the AND operator
is known as logical multiplication. To denote AND operator dot(.) symbol is used.
AND means that A & B. When both inputs are true then it produce true result,
otherwise false.

X Y X.Y

0 0 0

0 1 0

1 0 0

1 1 1
4. NAND OPERATION:
It stands for NOT AND that produce reverse result of AND gate.

X Y (X.Y)’

0 0 1

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 0

5. NOR OPERATION:
It stands for NOT OR. It produces reverse output than the OR gate.

X Y (X+Y)’

0 0 1

0 1 0

1 0 0

1 1 0

6. XOR OPERATION:
It produces high output if the input of 1s is odd, otherwise false.
 X Y X⊕Y

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 0

7. EX-NOR OPERATION:

X Y (X⊕Y)’

0 0 1

0 1 0

1 0 0

1 1 1

Basic Laws

De Morgan's Law:
First De Morgan's Law states that when two or more input variables (A, B) are OR’ed and
then negated, the result is equal to the AND of the complements of the individual input
variables.
(A+B)’ = A’ . B’
To prove this theorem we can use the truth table as given below:
A B A+B (A+B)’ A’ B’ A’.B’

0 0 0 1 1 1 1

0 1 1 0 1 0 0

1 0 1 0 0 1 0

1 1 1 0 0 0 0

Second De Morgan's Law states that when two or more input variables are AND'ed and
negated, then the obtained result will be equal to the OR of the complements of the individual
variables.
(A.B)’ = A’+B’
Using the truth table, we can prove this as follows:
A B A.B (A.B)’ A’ B’ A’+B’

0 0 0 1 1 1 1

0 1 0 1 1 0 1
1 0 0 1 0 1 1

1 1 1 0 0 0 0
