What are logic gates? Describe NAND and OR operation using truth tables and circuit symbols.

منطقی گیٹ کیا ہیں؟ NAND اور OR کا عمل صداقتی جدولوں اور سرکٹ کی علامتوں سے بیان کریں۔

Solution & explanation

Two-input NAND and OR gate symbols; NAND has an inversion bubble at outputABNANDOR
Schematic · not to scale
ABNAND = NOT(A AND B)OR = A OR B

0111
1011
1101

For A,B = 00,01,10,11: NAND outputs 1,1,1,0; OR outputs 0,1,1,1. NAND is an AND-shaped gate with an inversion bubble at output. OR has a curved input side and pointed output. The bubble means logical inversion, not a separate input.
