Step 1: Boolean Logic
📖 TheoryBoolean logic is the foundation of all digital computing. It works with just two values: TRUE (1) and FALSE (0).
George Boole developed this mathematical system in the 1800s, and it turned out to be perfect for electronic circuits — a switch can be ON (1) or OFF (0).
Every decision a computer makes, every calculation it performs, ultimately reduces to combinations of Boolean operations on binary values.
🎯 Key Points
- •Boolean logic uses only two values: TRUE (1) and FALSE (0)
- •Logic gates are physical implementations of Boolean operations
- •All computer processing is built from combinations of logic gates
- •George Boole created the mathematical foundations in the 1800s
- •You need to know AND, OR, NOT, XOR, NAND, and NOR gates
