The connection between electrical switches and boolean algebra goes in the other direction as well. A computer's CPU is largely built out of logic gates: physical manifestations of Boolean operators.

It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning &#82… ...

The Boolean logic gates AND, OR and NOT comprise transistors, which are on/off switches wired together. Gates have one or two inputs but only one output, and they are wired in patterns that make ...

Mechanical logic gates, while are not as powerful as typical computers, could prove useful in rovers sent to hostile environments such as Venus, or else in low-power computers intended to survive ...
