1.2 - Logic with Bits
How can a machine make decisions?
When are the following statements true and when are they false?
It is raining and it is night time.
It is snowing or it is December.
Take the second statement above - "It is snowing or it is December". Is that statement true if it's December but not snowing? What about if it is December and also snowing?

From last lesson:
Binary is made of 1's and 0's that represent electricity being on (1) or off (0).
Computers use electricity and, therefore, can only work with binary.
We use bits (and "bytes") to represent any kind of data: numbers, letters, media, encrypted messages, etc...
1.2 - Logic with Bits
I have to admit, I wish I had called this lesson "Bits of Logic". Get it?
How do we control "bits" in a computer?
How do we do mathematics and make decisions in a computer with bits?

1.2 Task(s)
Utilize the logic.ly demo to complete the assignment posted in our Hapara Workspace
Important: logic.ly does not save your work!
When you are finished and have submitted your assignment, you can attempt the bronze, silver, and gold challenges (also in Hapara)
Yes, I'm aware 0.3 in on logic gates and 0.4 is on binary. Repetition is a key factor in learning new topics.
Side note: Hradla is an open-source tool similar to Logic.ly and allows the saving and loading of diagrams but it's not as user-friendly.
