Answer:
For question a, it simplifies. If you re-express it in boolean algebra, you get:
(a + b) + (!a + b)
= a + !a + b
= b
So you can simplify that circuit to just:
x = 1 if b = 1
(edit: or rather, x = b)
For question b, let's try it:
(!a!b)(!b + c)
= !a!b + !a!bc
= !a!b(1 + c)
= !a!b
So that one can be simplified to
a = 0 and b = 0
I have no good means of drawing them here, but hopefully the simplification helped!
Answer:
Code works perfectly
Explanation:
There is nothing wrong with your program as it runs perfectly and displays the expected results.
You may need to compile with another compiler if you're not getting the required results.
