"um, okay, we have a bunch of relatively uninformed space enthusiasts in here..."
One approach to finding the equation is to find the rows where M equal one. M should be a one when, and only when, the input combinations match one of these three rows where M = 1 in the above table. So M is only a one in the last three rows. This is an OR operation (addition) between rows.
M = row 13 + row 14 + row 15
For a specific row to occur (or be true), the specific combination of input signals must occur. For row 13, if A is one, C is one, P is zero, and H is one, then we want M (or row 13) to be a one. This is an AND operation (multiplication).
Row 13 = ACP’H
Thus, adding the specific combinations for these 3 rows we get the equation:
M = ACPH’ + ACP’H + ACPH
Note that there is one four-variable AND term for each “1” found in the truth table, and then all of those AND terms are OR’d together.
Step 3: Write the logic equation
WHAT???!!???
exactly.....totally decided that I could never hack it as an electrical engineer today. And I have gained supreme respect for people that build anything computer-like.
Ooooh, yes, tonight a blizzard is predicted. A blizzard! My very first blizzard! I'm quite excited, as there will probably be a two hour delay to classes tomorrow....
Thansgiving break is in less than 30 days. I am SO SO SO SO VERY excited. The sad thing is, all I can think about is all the food I want to eat, the clothes, shoes, and accessories I want to wear. By then I would not have worn civilian clothes in more than 5 months. I don't even remember what it feels like. Heck, I can't even remember what it felt like to have long hair. I also don't remember what it feels like to sleep INSIDE a bed, UNDER the covers, instead of sleeping on top of a made bed every night.
I don't remember who said it but it perfectly sums up my daily dillemna: "every morning I wake up torn between the desire to enjoy the world, and a desire to improve it."
Nothing else to update on for now---
Yours Truly,
