    • NOT: Inverts the input value
    • Exclusive OR: Outputs TRUE if one and only one input is TRUE

    Boolean Algebra Operations

    • Principles like "Associative", "Distributive", and "Commutative" govern these operations.
    • DeMorgan's Theorems relate complements of Boolean expressions.
