Logic Gate Playground

Each logic gate turns one or two binary inputs into a single output. AND needs both inputs high; OR needs at least one; XOR needs exactly one; NOT inverts. NAND and NOR are the inverted forms — and either one alone can build every other gate, which is why they're called universal.

• Try this: Set the gate to XOR. Which input combinations give a 1? What does XOR detect?
• Try this: Compare AND with NAND for every input pair. What's the relationship?
• Try this: Try to make NOT behave like NAND with both inputs tied together. Does it work?
