Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation of Solution

Binary Principle:

  • Binary principle refers to those things which can be thought of as existing in any one of the two states.
  • These states are logic 1 and logic 0.
  • Basically, logic 1 can also be represented as “ON” or “True” or “YES”.
  • Similarly, logic 0 can also be represented as “OFF” or “False” or “NO”.
  • The key to the speed and accuracy with which information can be processed is that there are only two states, each of which is distinctly different.
  • Therefore, for any combination of input, the output will be either logic 1 or logic 0.
