Binääroloogika

Binääroloogika, also known as binary logic, is a fundamental concept in computer science and digital electronics. It is a system of logic that deals with two distinct states, typically represented as 0 and 1, or true and false. These states are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, meaning that a value must be either one or the other, and cannot be both or neither.

The principles of binary logic are based on Boolean algebra, developed by George Boole in the 19th century. Boolean algebra provides a set of rules and operations for manipulating these binary values. The primary operations are AND, OR, and NOT. The AND operation returns true only if both inputs are true. The OR operation returns true if at least one of the inputs is true. The NOT operation inverts the input, turning true into false and false into true.

These basic operations can be combined to create more complex logical functions, known as logic gates. Logic gates are the building blocks of digital circuits. They are electronic components that perform logical operations on binary inputs to produce a binary output. Common logic gates include AND gates, OR gates, NOT gates (inverters), NAND gates (NOT AND), NOR gates (NOT OR), XOR gates (exclusive OR), and XNOR gates (exclusive NOR).

Binary logic is the foundation of all digital computing. Computers process information by manipulating sequences of binary digits, or bits. These bits are represented by electrical signals, where a high voltage might represent a 1 and a low voltage might represent a 0. All complex operations performed by a computer, from simple arithmetic to rendering graphics, are ultimately broken down into a series of these basic binary logic operations. The efficiency and reliability of digital systems are directly dependent on the precise implementation of binary logic.
