A solid understanding of computer circuitry will help you get the most of the computer. In this lab, you will learn about switch logic, truth tables, gates (like NOT, AND, OR, XOR, etc.), memory circuits, and addition circuits. Hum, you use the gating logic in your code too.
Prerequisites
This is part 3 of Understanding How the Computer Works series. Before you take this lab, make sure you have already completed these labs:
What you will learn
This is a geeky lab. You will be learning about the following topics:
- Introduction to Electronics and Electricity
- Logical Gate Circuitry (this works the same in code)
- How memory works
- Addition circuitry
There’s a time to code and …. yup, that sums it up.
