    Study Notes

    Section 1: Spaced Learning

    • An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions designed to solve a problem.
    • Algorithms are commonly used to plan out solutions to problems efficiently.
    • Logic Gates:
      • AND Gate: The output is true only if both inputs are true.
      • OR Gate: The output is true if at least one input is true.
      • NOT Gate: Reverses the input; if the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa.
    • Binary is a numeral system that uses a sequence of 1s and 0s to represent data, fundamental to computer communication.
    • To create a variable named age and assign the value of 30 in Python, the correct syntax is age = 30.
    • In Python, the equality comparison operator to check if two values are equal is ==.

    Section 2: Written Practice

    • Flowol Symbols: Common shapes include:
      • Oval: Start/End
      • Parallelogram: Input/Output
      • Rectangle: Process
      • Diamond: Decision/Logic
    • A Truth Table outlines all possible input combinations for logic gates and their corresponding outputs.
    • Binary to Denary Conversion: To convert binary numbers (e.g., 00001111) to denary, each binary digit represents a power of 2, counting from the right (0, 1, 2, etc.). For instance, 00001111 in binary is equal to 15 in denary.
