Exploring Basic Logic Gates (AND, OR, NOT, XOR)

In this activity, I explored how computers make decisions using four basic logic gates: AND, OR, NOT, and XOR. These logic gates are like simple rules that help a computer decide what to do based on different inputs.

Using an interactive tool (such as Scratch or a simulation), I tested how each logic gate works by giving it different inputs (True/False or 1/0) and observing the output.

• The AND gate only gives a True output when both inputs are True.

• The OR gate gives a True output when at least one input is True.

• The NOT gate reverses the input (True becomes False, and False becomes True).

• The XOR gate gives a True output only when the inputs are different.

By experimenting with these gates, I learned how simple logical rules can be combined to create more complex decisions—just like in real computer systems.
