Term
The functioning of both programming languages and computer hardware is based on the rules of the branch of mathmatics.
Definition
Logic
Term
Logic is th science or art of _____ ________. It establishes the laws according to which correct ________ should be conducted.
Definition
Exact reasoning; thinking
Term
Match each of the following systems with its correct pair of parameters.
A) Binary---B)Digital signal flow---C)Logic///// __True/false---__1/0---__ON/Off
Definition
A) Binary-1/0--B)Digial signal flow-On/Off--C)Logic-True/False
Term
Electricity flows through a ______ circuit.
Definition
Closed
Term
Electricity doesn't flow through a ______ circuit.
Definition
Open
Term
A ___ logic gate acts as an inverter.
Definition
NOT
Term
This type of statement written in "if....then" form is often in logic and computer programming.
Definition
Conditional Statement
Term
The outcomes of this logic gate demonstrate binary addition. If either input (or both) is true, then the output is true.
Definition
OR
Term
The outcomes of this logic gate demonstrates binary multiplication. Both inputs must be ture to generate a true output.
Definition
AND
Term
True/ Flase- if false fix it!

In an 'If,then" sentence such as "If my guitar strings break, then I cannot play," the "if" section indicates the condition/s that must be mer, and the "then" section indicates the resulting outcome of the situation.
Definition
True
Term
True/ Flase- if false fix it!

The truth value of a logic gate can be given as an analog number which represents a high or low electical signal.
Definition
False--...represents a open or closed circuit.
Term
True/ Flase- if false fix it!
More complex gates such as NAND can be created using the three basic gates, XPR, YNOR, and NAD.
Definition
False-- ..NOT, AND, and OR gates.
Term
True/ Flase- if false fix it!
A truth table list all the possible signal configurations of a particular logic gate of circuit.
Definition
True
Term
This is the computer's primary language. It is made up of binary signals.
Definition
Machine Language
Term
Adder-
Definition
A complex gate configuration where the sum of multible binary inputs is calculated through connccted logic gates.
Term
Binary Logic-
Definition
A form of logic or reasoning that permits only 2 states, 1 or 0. This logic is derived from the Greek philsopher, Aristotle's writings on correct reasoning in which only two outcomes are possible, true or false. Statements or events that do not naturally lend themselves to black and white declarations must be rounded off to whichever state, true or false, most closely fits the situation.
Term
Assembly Language-
Definition
A language used by programmers to code for lower level machine language.
Term
Circuit-
Definition
A closed path followed or capable of being followed by an electrical current.
Term
Complex circuit-
Definition
Any circuit that uses more then one input value to create a particular result.
Term
Complex Logic Sentence-
Definition
A logic sentence consisting of a string of somple logic sentences joined together with th conjunctions "and" and "or."
Term
Conditional Statement-
Definition
A conditional statement or "if, then" statement that expresses an action that takes place when a specifed condition is met.
Term
Instruction-
Definition
A basic command; often used to describe the most rudimentary programming commands.
Term
Instruction Set-
Definition
The basic set of commands, or instructions, that a microprocessor understands.
Term
Latency-
Definition
The time interval for electricity to move between components inside a computer
Term
Logic Gate-
Definition
The simple circuit that functions based on manipulating the electronic truth values (1s and 0s) that are sent in-a "1"representinga true statement, adn a "0"{ indicating a false statement. The 3 basic are AND, OR, and NOT. NAND, NOR XOR, and XNOR gates can be formed useing the 3 basic gates.
Term
Machine Language-
Definition
A programming language or instruction code that is immediately interpretable by the machine concerned.
Term
NOT gate-
Definition
Logic gate that reverses the value of the input signal
Term
OR gate-
Definition
Logic gate that prooduces a true output if either input (or both) is true. Represents the sum of normal binary addition.
Term
Parallel Circuit-
Definition
A closed circuit in which the current splits into two or more paths before coming together to complete the circuit.
Term
Series Curcuit-
Definition
An electrical circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in order without branching.
Term
Simple Curcuit-
Definition
Any circuit that uses only one input value to create a particular result.
Term
Simple logic sentence-
Definition
A logic sentence that consists of one statement.
Term
Truth table-
Definition
A table used to show how a logic circuit's output responds to various combinations of the inputs, using logic 1 for true and logic 0 for false.
