AND gates
An AND gate uses two inputs to generate one output. The output is 1 (TRUE) only if both of the inputs are 1 (TRUE).
AND gates are represented diagrammatically as:
A represents the first input. B represents the second input. Q represents the output.
A A table to list the output for all possible input combinations into a logic gate. shows, for each combination of inputs, what the output will be. An AND gate is represented in a truth table as seen below.
| A | B | Q |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| A | 0 |

This AND gate is represented in A form of algebra which works only with two values, TRUE or FALSE. by the logic The smallest element of a programming language which expresses an action to be carried out. A AND B.
