I just have a question. What would x become after a two input NAND gate? Would it become x not? Also, with the x (not?) and a y put through a two inverter NOR gate, what would be the expression afterwards? Thanks!
If you put x into both inputs of a NAND gate and then combine the output from that gate with y through a NOR gate, right? The output of the NAND gate would be NOT(xx) which becomes NOTx or NOTx (x!+x!). That reduces to just NOTx (x!). The output of the NOR gate would be NOT(NOTx + y). That becomes (NOT,NOTx)(NOTy). The double NOTs cancel on x to give x(NOTy). I hope this helps.
Thank you for a clean method for turning circuits to expressions!
