Preview During World War II, life in England was filled with hardships and sorrow because Hitler's Nazi air force was booming London repeatedly. The people of the country had to pull together and help one another in countless ways so that normal daily life could continue as much as possible England's Royal Air Force was heroic in the way the few pilots continued to meet and fight against the tremendous number of Nazi airplanes The citizens on the ground

Input devices are those portions of computer, data processing, and information systems that perform the essential function of providing some means for entering commands and data into the system. Therefore, input devices are found in all such systems, but are treated here as a separate equipment group, independent of the

devices the techniques were tailored to gate networks of the type described above. The term gate was already in use in the forties to denote the logical elements discussed earlier. There are very many good references on Boolean algebra and we may quote only a selected few of them. Suffice it to mention the texts by Hill and Peterson [1974], Kohavi [1978], and Hohn [1966]. These books give

A function is a term used in mathematics and logic to denote a relationship between input and output variables. Each variable is restricted to binary (0, 1) values The relationship is the complex of three primitive functions (And \\Not\\Or)
