Re: Digest Number 721/NAND gates

nope, what you do is you have an inverted and statement, but the inversion comes after the and
here's my best boolean ascii skills! ha look at the not:<

yer way works too but it's redundent, a or a always = a b or b always = b
it'd be

sorry i bet a lot of u know this but i jsut got carried away, logic is so fun!=D especially trying to draw it in ascii;-)

It looks to me like you just NOT (invert) a&b separately then run
them into the OR function. Out comes the NAND configuration.
