And Gate
The not gate we implemented just now is very simple, let's now check out a more complex circuit - the and gate.
We start by specifying the interface of the and gate.
Looking at the truth table of and, we notice that it expects two inputs a and b and produces a single output.
a

a and b

So we can declare the header of the and gate as:
and a[1] b[1] -> [1]Great!
Now since a and b is equivalent to not (a nand b), we can implement the body of the and gate as:
not (nand a b)Combining the header and the body, we got:
and a[1] b[1] -> [1] =
not (nand a b)Last updated
