Logic Operations: Bit Level

Basic logic operations include NOT, AND, OR, and XOR.
NOT operation flips a bit: changes 1 to 0 and vice versa.
AND operation results in 1 only if both inputs are 1:
- x AND 0 → 0
- 0 AND x → 0
OR operation results in 1 if at least one input is 1:
- x OR 1 → 1
- 1 OR x → 1
XOR (exclusive OR) operation results in 1 if inputs are different:
- x XOR 1 → NOT x
- 1 XOR x → NOT x

Inclusive vs. Exclusive OR

English "or" can be categorized into:
- Inclusive OR: "I would like to have a car or a house" implies either one or both.
- Exclusive OR: "Today is either Monday or Tuesday" implies one or the other, but not both.

XOR Simulation

XOR can be simulated using AND and NOT operations:
- Expression: x XOR y ≡ [x AND (NOT y)] OR [(NOT x) AND y]
Truth tables can validate the equivalence between XOR and its simulated form.

Logic Operations: Pattern Level

Logic operations can be applied to n-bit patterns, combining the effects on individual bits.
Applying operations at the pattern level means using the same bit operations across all bits of the pattern.

Examples of Pattern Level Operations

NOT Operator: Changes every 0 to 1 and every 1 to 0 in a bit pattern (e.g., 10011000 becomes 01100111).
AND Operator: Compares two patterns and results in 1 only where both corresponding bits are 1 (e.g., for 10011000 AND 00101010, only one output bit will be 1).
OR Operator: Compares two patterns and results in 0 only where both corresponding bits are 0 (e.g., for 10011001 OR 00101110, only one output bit will be 0).
XOR Operator: Compares two patterns and results in 1 where the corresponding bits are different (e.g., for 10011001 XOR 00101110, each differing bit will yield 1 in the output).

This quiz covers basic logic operations including NOT, AND, OR, and XOR, as well as the differences between inclusive and exclusive OR. It also explores the simulation of XOR using AND and NOT operations, along with practical applications in bit patterns. Test your understanding of these fundamental concepts in logic operations.
