base 2
Binary is a __________ system.
circuit board
A (An) __________ holds the main parts of a circuit and controls the flow of electricity to them.
bit
In a computer, one __________ is a zero or one.
truth table
A __________ is used to evaluate outputs for all possible inputs for a logic gate.
AND
In binary, a (an) __________ gate outputs a one only when all inputs are one.
OR
In binary, a (an) __________ gate outputs a one if either input is a one.
NAND
In binary, a (an) __________ gate outputs a zero if both inputs are one. It outputs a one for all other cases.
NOR
In binary, a (an) __________ gate outputs a one only when all inputs are zero.
XOR
In binary, a (an) __________ gate outputs a one when only one input is equal to one.
XNOR
In binary, a (an) __________ gate outputs a zero when only one input is equal to one.
NOT
In binary, a (an) __________ gate reverses it's input (zero becomes one, one becomes zero).
