Definitions
• DIGIT: from Latin ‘digitus’ = finger. ‘Any
of the Arabic numerals from 0-9’. ‘One of
the elements that combine to form
numbers in a system other then the
decimal one’.
• DIGITAL: ‘of/relating to/using calculation

by numerical methods or by discrete
units’. ‘relating to data in the form of
numerical digits’
Why is it named ‘digital’?
• Early computers were used mainly to
perform numeric computations
• They used discrete elements of
information: digits
• DIGITAL SYSTEMS: manipulate
discrete elements of information
(finite sets)
• E.g. the 10 decimal digits, the 26
letters of the alphabet, 64 squares of
Digital Computers
and Digital Systems
Today…
– Computers are used in a variety of applications
such as scientific calculations, commercial, and
business data processing, air traffic controls,
space guidance, educational field among
others.
– Digital computers have made possible many

scientific, industrial, and commercial advances
that would have been unattainable otherwise.

Digital Computers
and Digital Systems
• Computers can follow a sequence of
instruction called program, that operates
on given data.
• General-purpose digital computer is

the best-known example of a digital
system.
• Others are:

and Digital Systems
Introduction:
– Characteristic of a Digital system is its
manipulation of discrete elements of
information.
– Such discrete elements maybe:

electric impulses, decimal digits, letters
of an alphabet, arithmetic operations,
punctuation marks, or any set of
meaningful meanings.
Digital Computers and
Digital Systems
• Discrete elements of information are
represented in a digital system by
physical quantities called SIGNALS.
 Voltages and currents are the most common

electrical signals.
 Signals in the present day of electronic digital

systems have only two discrete values and
are said to be BINARY.
Beyond the digital
computer…
Digital devices (camcorders, DVDs, TV, phones,
microprocessor-based devices)
Why Digital Circuits?

• Digital devices are programmable – by simply
changing the program the same hardware can be
used for different applications
• Advances in digital integrated circuits technology

– accuracy, reliability (DVD)
• Digital systems are interconnections of digital

modules

Digital circuits
• What digital modules in digital systems
are made of
• Each digital circuit implements a logical function
• Combination of digital circuits form a more complex
logical function (of the module)
• Combinations of modules – function of devices
• We will study different types of digital
circuits and learn to analyze their
functionality and ultimately how to
design digital circuits that accomplish
a desired logical function

How does a computer
work?
• Memory unit:
– Stores program as well as input, output,
and the intermediate data.
• Processor unit:
– Performs the arithmetic and other data
processing tasks as specified by a
program

How does a computer
work?
• Control unit:
– Supervises the flow of information between the
various units
– It retrieves the instructions, one by one, from the

program that is stored in the memory
– For each instruction, the control unit informs the

processor to execute the operation specified by
the instructions & the processor manipulates the
data as specified by the program.

How does a computer
work?
• The program and data prepared by
the user are transferred into the
memory unit by means of the input
device such as keyboard
• Output device such as printer

receives the results of the
computations & printed results are
presented to the user.

1-2 BINARY NUMBERS:
– Decimal
– Decimal number 7392 is represented
by: 7 x 103 + 3 x 102 + 9 x 101
+ 2 x 100
– Represented in series of coefficients:
a5a4a3a2a1a0.a-1a-2a-3
Digital Systems
1-2 BINARY NUMBERS:
• Decimal
The aj coefficients are one of the ten digits (0,
1, 2,…,9):
105a5 + 104a4 + 103a3 + 102a2 + 101a1 + 100a0 +
+ 10-1a-1 + 10-2a-2 + 10-3a-3
• The decimal number system is said to be of

base, or radix, 10 because it uses ten digits
and the coefficients are multiplied by powers
of 10.
1-2 BINARY NUMBERS:
• The binary system is different with the
decimal system having only two possible
values: 0 and 1.
• Each coefficient aj is multiplied by 2j.
• For example: 11010.11 is 26.75 in

decimals, shown from the multiplication of
the coefficients by powers of 2:
• 1x24 + 1x23 + 1x22 + 1x21 + 0x20 + 1x2-1

+ 1x2-2 = 26.75
1-2 BINARY NUMBERS:
• In general, a number expressed in
base-r system has coefficients
multiplied by powers of r:
• The coefficients aj range in value
from 0 to r - 1.
• Example: (4021.2)5 = 4x53 + 0x52
+2x51 + 1x50 +2x5-1 = (511.4)10
• Note that coefficients for base 5 can
be only 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
1-2 BINARY NUMBERS:
• For hexadecimal, the letters of the
alphabet are use to supplement the
ten decimal digits when the base of
the number is greater than 10.
• Letters A, B, C, D, E and F are used

for digits 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15
respectively.
1-2 BINARY NUMBERS:
As an example:
(B65F)16 = 11 x 163 + 6 x 162 + 5 x 16 + 15
• Arithmetic operations with numbers in

base r follow the same rules as for decimal
numbers.
• When other than the familiar base 10 is

used, one must be careful to use only the
r allowable digits.

1-3 Number Base
Conversions
• A binary number can be converted to a
decimal by forming the sum of the powers
of 2 of those coefficients whose value is 1.
Example:
(1010.011)2 = 23 + 21 + 2-2 + 2-3
= (10.375)10
• The binary number has four 1’s and the
decimal equivalent is found from the sum
of four powers of 2.
1-3 Number Base
Conversions
• The following is an example of Octal-
to-decimal conversion:
(630.4)8 = 6 x 82 + 3 x 8 + 4 x 8-1
• The conversion from decimal to

binary or to any other base-r system
is more convenient if the number is
separated into an integer part and a
fraction part and the conversion of
each part done separately.
1-3 Number Base
Conversions
• Convert decimal 41 to binary.
– Follow these simple steps:
• To do this, divide 41 by 2 to give an integer
quotient of 20 and a remainder of ½.
• The quotient is again divided by 2 to give a
new quotient and remainder.
• This process is continued until the integer
quotient becomes 0.
(The process should be shown on the board)

1-3 Number Base
Conversions
• Convert decimal 153 to octal.
– Follow these simple steps:
• The required base r is 8.
• First, divide 153 by 8 to give an integer
quotient of 19 and a remainder of 1.
• Then divide 19 by 8 to give a quotient of 2
and a remainder of 3.
• Finally, 2 is divided by 8 to give a quotient of
0 and a remainder of 2.
(Process continued on the board)

1-3 Number Base
Conversions
• Convert (0.513) to octal.
– 0.513 x 8 = 4.104
– 0.104 x 8 = 0.832
– 0.832 x 8 = 6.656
– 0.656 x 8 = 5.248
– 0.248 x 8 = 1.984
– 0.984 x 8 = 7.872
• The answer, to seven significant figures, is
obtained from the integer part of the
products: (0.513)10 = (0.406517…)8

1-5 COMPLEMENTS
• Complements are used in digital
computers for simplifying the subtraction
operation and for logical manipulation.
There are two types of complements for
each base-r system:
• RADIX COMPLEMENT (or R’s Complement)
• DIMINISHED RADIX COMPLEMENT (or (R-1)’s
complement).
– Also, it could be the 2’s and 1’s complement for
the binary system.
– And, 10’s and 9’s complement for decimal
numbers.
1-5 COMPLEMENTS
• DIMINISHED RADIX Complement for
DECIMAL
– Given a number N in base r having n digits, the
(r-1)’s complement of N is defined as (rn – 1) –
N.
– For decimal numbers, r = 10 and r – 1 = 9, so
the 9’s complement of N is (10n – 1) – N.
– 10n represents a number that consists of a
single 1 followed by n 0’s.
– 10n – 1 is a number represented by n 9’s.
• For example, if n=4, we have 104 = 10,000 and 104 -1
= 9999
1-5
COMPLEMENTS
• It follows that the 9’s complement
of a decimal number is obtained
by subtracting each digit from 9.
– Example:
• The 9’s complement of 546700 is
999999 – 546700 = 453299
• The 9’s complement of 012398 is
999999 – 012398 = 987601

1-5
COMPLEMENTS
• For binary numbers, r = 2 and r – 1 =
1, so the 1’s complement of N is (2n –
1) – N.
• 2n is represented by a binary number

that consists of a 1 followed by n 0’s.
• 2n – 1 is a binary number represented

by n 1’s.
1-5
• ForCOMPLEMENTS
example, if n = 4, we have 2 = (10,000) and
4
2
24 – 1 = (1111)2.
• Thus the 1’s complement of a binary number is

obtained by subtracting each digit from 1.
• But when subtracting binary digits from 1, we can
have either 1 – 0 = 1 of 1 – 1 = 0, which causes
the bit to change from 0 to 1of from 1 to 0.
• Therefore, the 1’s complement of a binary number
is formed by changing 1’s to 0’s and 0’s to 1’s.

1-5
COMPLEMENTS
• Example
– The 1’s complement of 1011000 is
0100111.
– The 1’s complement of 0101101 is
1010010.
The (r – 1)’s complement of octal or

hexadecimal numbers is obtained by
subtracting each digit from 7 or F (decimal
15), respectively.
1-5
COMPLEMENTS
• RADIX Complement
– The r’s complement of an n-digit
number N in base r is defined as
rn – N for N = 0 and 0 for N=0.
– The r’s complement is obtained

by adding 1 to the (r – 1)’s
complement since rn – N = [(rn –
1) – N] + 1.

COMPLEMENTS
•Example (Decimal)
– 10’s complement of 012398
is 987602.
– 10’s complement of 246700
is 753300.

1-5
COMPLEMENTS
• Radix Complements
– Example for BINARY:
•The 2’s complement of
1101100 is 0010100.
•The 2’s complement of
0110111 is 1001001.

1-5 COMPLEMENTS
• Subtraction with complements
– Similar to the subtraction
done in elementary, in this
method, we borrow a 1 from
a higher significant position
when the minuend digit is
smaller than the subtrahend
digit.
1-5
COMPLEMENTS
– The subtraction of two n-digit unsigned
numbers M – N in base r can be done as
follows:
• Add the minuend M to the r’s complement
of the subtrahend. This performs M + (rn –
N) = M – N + rn.
• If M > N, the sum will produce an end carry,
rn, which is discarded; what is left is the
result M – N.

1-5
COMPLEMENTS
3. If M < N, the sum does not
produce an end carry and is
equal to rn – (N – M), which is the
r’s complement of (N – M). To
obtain the answer in familiar
form, take the r’s complement of
the sum and place a negative
sign in front.
1-5
COMPLEMENTS
Example 1: Using 10’s complement,
subtract 72532 – 3250.
M= 72532
10’s complement of N = +96750
Sum = 169282
Discard the end carry 105 = -100000

ANSWER = 69282

1-5 COMPLEMENTS
Example 1: Using 10’s complement,
subtract 3250 - 72532.
M= 03250
10’s complement of N = + 27468
Sum = 30718
There is no end carry.

Answer: -(10’s complement of 30718) = -69282
NOTE that since 3250 < 72532, the result is
negative.
1-5 COMPLEMENTS
Example 1: Given the two binary numbers X =
1010100 and Y = 1000011, perform the
subtraction (a) X – Y and (b) Y – X using 2’s
complements.
(a) X = 1010100
2’s complement of Y = + 0111101
Sum = 10010001
Discard the end carry 27 = -10000000
Answer: X – Y = 0010001

1-5
COMPLEMENTS
(b) Y = 1000011
2’s complement of X = + 0101100
Sum = 1101111
Answer: Y- X = -(2’s complement of 1101111) =

-0010001
Subtraction of unsigned numbers can be done also

by means of the (r-1)’s complement.

1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• Positive integers including zero can
be represented as unsigned
numbers. But to represent negative
integers, we need a notation for
negative values.
• In ordinary arithmetic,
– a negative number is indicated by a
minus sign
– A positive number is indicated with a plus
sign

1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• Due to hardware limitations,
computers must represent
everything with binary digits,
commonly referred to as BITS.
• It is customary to represent the sign
with a bit placed in the leftmost
position of the number for binary
numbers.
– The convention is to make the sign bit 0
for positive
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• We should realize that both signed and
unsigned binary numbers consist of a
string of bits when represented in a
computer.
• The user determines whether the number
is signed or unsigned.
• If the binary number is signed, then the
leftmost bit represents the sign and the
rest of bits represent the number

1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• Example the string of bits 01001
– Can be considered as 9 for unsigned
binary
– Or a +9 for signed binary
• Another example, 11001

– Can be interpreted as 25 when unsigned,
or
– As - 9 when considered as a signed
number.
There should be no confusion in identifying the
Jeffrey.t.dellosa@gmail.com bits

Numbers
• The representation of the signed numbers is
referred as the SIGNED – MAGNITUDE
Convention.
• In this notation, the number consists of a

Magnitude and Symbol ( + or - ) or a BIT (0
or 1) indicating the sign.
• When arithmetic operations are implemented in

a computer, it is more convenient to use a
different system for representing negative
numbers,

• SIGNED COMPLEMENT System
– In this system, a negative number is
indicated by its complement
– The signed complement system can

either use the 1’s or 2’s
complement, but the 2’s
complement is the most common.
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• Example:
Consider the number 9 represented
in binary with eight bits
+ 9 is represented with a sign bit of

0 in the leftmost position followed by
the binary equivalent of 9 to give
00001001.
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• Example:
 While there is only one way to
represent + 9, there are three
different ways to represent – 9 with
eight bits:
In signed-magnitude representation:
10001001
In signed-1’s complement representation:
11110110
In signed-2’s complement representation:
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• In signed-magnitude, - 9 is obtained
from + 9 by changing the sign bit in the
leftmost position from 0 to 1.
• In signed - 1’s complement, - 9 is
obtained by complementing all the bits of
+9, including the sign bit.
• In signed - 2’s complement, -9 is
obtained by taking the 2’s complement of
the positive number, including the sign bit.

1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• The signed-magnitude system is used in ordinary
arithmetic, but is awkward when employed in
computer arithmetic.
• Therefore, the signed-complement is

normally used.
• The 1’s complement presents some difficulties

and is seldom used for arithmetic operations and
the signed binary arithmetic deals more
with the 2’s complement in representing
negative numbers.
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• ARITHMETIC ADDITION
– The addition of two numbers in the signed-
magnitude system follows the rules of
ordinary arithmetic.
– If the signs are the same, we add the two

magnitudes and give the sum the common
sign.
– If the signs are different, we subtract the

smaller magnitude from the larger and give
the result the sign of the larger magnitude.
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
– Example: (+25) + (-37) = - (37 – 25) = -12
– This is done by subtracting the smaller

magnitude 25 from the larger magnitude 37
and using the sign of 37 for the sign of the
result.
– The same procedure applies to binary

numbers in signed-complement system does
not require a comparison or subtraction, but
only addition
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
– The procedure can be stated as follows
for binary:
• The addition of two signed binary

numbers with negative numbers
represented in signed 2’s complement
form is obtained from the addition of the
two numbers, including their sign bits. A
carry out of the sign-bit position is
discarded.

– In each of the four cases, the operation
performed is addition with the sign bit
included.
– Any carry out of the sign-bit position is

discarded, and negative results are
automatically in 2’s complement form.

1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
• ARITHMETIC SUBTRACTION
– Subtraction of two signed binary
numbers when negative numbers are
in 2’s complement form is simple and
is stated as follows:
• Take the 2’s complement of the
subtrahend (including the sign bit) and
add it to the minuend (including the sign
bit). A carry out of the sign-bit position is
discarded.
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
– This procedure occurs because a subtraction
operation can be changed to an addition
operation if the sign of the subtrahend is
changed.
•(+/- A) – (+B) = (+/-A) + (-B)
•(+/- A) – (-B) = (+/-A) + (+B)
– But changing a positive number to a
negative number is easily done by taking
the 2’s complement.
1-6 SIGNED Binary
Numbers
– Consider the subtraction of (-6) – (-13) =
+7.
– In binary with eight bits, this is written as
(11111010 – 11110011).
– The subtraction is changed to addition by
taking the 2’s complement of the
subtrahend (-13) to give (+13).
– In binary, this is 11111010 + 00001101 =
10000011. Removing the end carry, we
obtain the correct answer 00000111 (+7).
1-7 BINARY CODES
• Electronic digital systems use signals
that have two distinct values and
circuit elements that have two stable
states.
– There is a direct analogy among binary
numbers, binary circuit elements, and
binary digits.
– For example, a binary number of n digits
may be represented by n binary circuit
elements, each having an output signal
equivalent to a 0 or a 1.

• Digital systems represent and
manipulate not only binary numbers,
but also many other discrete
elements of information.
– Any discrete element of information
distinct among a group of quantities can
be represented by a binary code.
– Codes must be in binary because
computers can only hold 1’s and 0’s.
1-7 BINARY CODES
• A bit by definition is a binary digit
and when used in conjunction with a
binary code, it is better to think of it
as denoting a binary quantity equal
to 0 or 1.
– To represent a group of 2n distinct
elements in a binary code requires a
minimum of n bits.
– This is because it is possible to arrange n
bits in 2n distinct ways.
1-7 BINARY CODES
• For example,
– A group of four distinct quantities can be
represented by a two-bit code, with each
quantity assigned one of the following bit
combinations: 00, 01, 10, 11.
– A group of eight elements requires a

three-bit code, with each element
assigned to one and only one of the
following: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101,
110, 111.
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
• Binary logic deals with variables
that take on two discrete values
and with operations that assumes
logical meaning.
– The two values the variables take
may be called by different names
(e.g., true and false, yes and no,
etc.) but it is more convenient to
think in terms of bits and assign the
values of 1 and 0.
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
• Binary logic is used to describe, in
mathematical way, the manipulation and
processing of binary information.
– It is suited for the analysis and design of
digital systems.
– For example, the digital logic circuits of

figure 1-3 in your book that perform the
binary arithmetic are the circuits whose
behavior is conveniently expressed by
means of binary variables and logical
operations.
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
• The binary logic to be introduced in
this section is equivalent to an
algebra called BOOLEAN ALGEBRA.
– The purpose of this section is to
introduce Boolean algebra and relate it
to digital logic circuits and binary signals.
– The formal discussion of a 2-valued

Boolean algebra is covered in more detail
in Chapter 2.

1-9 BINARY LOGIC
• DEFINITION of Binary Logic
– Binary Logic consists of binary variables
and logical operations.
– Variables are designated by letters of
alphabet such as A, B, C, x, y, z, etc. with
each variable having two and only two
distinct possible values: 1 and 0.
– There are three basic logical operations:
AND, OR and NOT.
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
– AND: This operation is represented
by a dot or by the absence of an
operator.
– For example, x.y = z or xy = z is
read “ x AND y is equal to z.”
– The logical operation AND is
interpreted to mean that z = 1 if and
only if x = 1 and y = 1; otherwise z
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
– OR: This operation is
represented by a plus sign.
– For example, x + y = z is read “x
OR y is equal to z,” meaning that
z=1 if x=1 or if y=1 or if both
x=1 and y=1.
– If both x=0 and y=0, then z = 0.
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
– NOT: This operation is
represented by a prime
(sometimes by a par).
– For example, x’ = z (or x = z) is
read “not x is equal to z,”
meaning that z is what x is not.
– In other words, if x=1, then z=0;
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
– Binary Logic resembles binary
arithmetic, and the operations AND and
OR have some similarities to
multiplication and addition.
– One should realize that an arithmetic
variable designates a number that may
consist of many digits.
– A logic variable is always either a 1 or 0.
1-9 BINARY LOGIC
– For each combination of the values of x
and y, there is a value of z specified by
the definition of the logical operation.
– These definitions can be listed in a
compact form known as TRUTH Tables.
– A truth table is a table of all possible

combinations of the variables showing
the relation between the values that the
variables may take and the result of the

Signals
– Electronic digital circuits are sometimes
called switching circuits because they
behave like a switch such as the transistor.
– Instead of changing the switch manually, an
electronic switching circuit uses binary
signals to control the conduction or non-
conduction state of the active element.
– Electrical signals such as voltage and
current exist throughout a digital system in
either one of two recognizable values

• Electronic digital circuits are also called
LOGIC CIRCUITS because, with the proper
input, they establish logical manipulation
paths.
• Any desired information for computing or

control can be operated upon by passing
binary signals through various combinations
of logic circuits, each signal representing a
variable and carrying one bit of information.

Boolean Algebra and Logic
Gates
• Boolean algebra, like any other
deductive mathematical system,
maybe defined with a set of
elements, a set of operators, and
a number of unproved axioms
or postulates.

Gates
• In traditional logic,
an axiom or postulate is a proposition
that is not proved or demonstrated but
considered to be either self-evident, or
subject to necessary decision. Therefore,
its truth is taken for granted, and serves
as a starting point for deducing and
inferring other (theory dependent) truths.
• an axiom is any mathematical statement

that serves as a starting point from which
other statements are logically derived
Gates
Basic Definitions
• A set of elements is any collection of
objects having a common property
• If S is a set, and x and y are certain
objects, then x S denotes that x is a
member of the set S, and y S denotes
that y is not an element of S.
• A set with a denumerable number of
elements is specified by braces: A = {1,
2, 3, 4}, i.e., the elements of set A are
the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Gates
Basic Definitions
• A binary operator defined on a set S of
elements is a rule that assigns to each
pair of elements from S a unique
element from S.
• Example: a * b = c, we say that * is a

binary operator if it specifies a rule for
finding c from the pair (a, b) and also if
a, b, c S.
– However, * is not a binary operator if a, b S
(?), whereas the rule finds c S.
Gates
Basic Definitions
• The postulates of a mathematical
system form the basic assumptions
from which it is possible to deduce
the rules, theorems, and properties
of the system.
• The most common postulates used

to formulate various algebraic
structures are:
Gates
Basic Definitions
• Closure – A set S is closed with respect
to a binary operator if, for every pair of
element S, the binary operator specifies
a rule for obtaining a unique element of
S.
For example: The set of natural numbers N

= {1, 2, 3, 4, . . . } is closed with
respect to the binary operator plus (+)
by the rules of arithmetic addition since
for any a, b N we obtain a unique c
N by the operation a + b = c.
Gates
•
Basic Definitions
Associative Law – A binary operator * on a set S is said
to be associative whenever
(x * y) * z = x * (y * z) for all x, y, z S
• Commutative Law – A binary operator * on a set S is said

to be commutative whenever
x*y=y*x for all x, y S
• Identity Element – A set S is said to have an identity

element with respect to a binary operation * on S if there
exists an element e S with the property
e * x = x * e = x for every x S
Example: The element 0 is an identity element with

respect to operation + on the set of integers I = {…, -3,
-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …} since x + 0 = 0 + x = x for any x

element e with respect to a binary
operator * is said to have an inverse
whenever, for every x S, there exist an
element y S such that
x*y=e
Example: In the set of integers I with e = 0, the
inverse of an element a is (-a) since a + (-a) = 0.

6. Distributive Law.
binary operators on a set S, * is said to be
distributive over • whenever
x * (y • z) = (x * y) • (x * z)
Boolean Algebra and Logic Gates
Basic Definitions
The operators and postulates have the following
meanings:
3. The binary operator + defines addition.

4. The additive identity is 0.
5. The additive inverse defines subtractions.
6. The binary operator • defines multiplication
7. The multiplicative identity is 1.
8. The multiplicative inverse of a = 1/a defines
division.
9. The only distributive law applicable is that of
• over +:
a • (b + c) = (a • b) + (a • c)
Axiomatic Definitions of Boolean
Algebra
Boolean algebra is defined by a set of elements, B,
provided following postulates with two binary operators, +
and ., are satisfied:
• Closure with respect to the operators + and ..

• An identity element with respect to + and . is 0 and
1,respectively.
• Commutative with respect to + and .. Ex: x + y = y + x
• + is distributive over . : x + (y . z)=(x + y) . (x + z)
• . is distributive over + : x . (y + z)=(x . y) + (x . z)
• Complement elements: x + x’ = 1 and x . x’ = 0.
•There exists at least two elements x,y ∈ B such that x≠y.

Comparing Boolean algebra
with arithmetic and ordinary
 algebra.
Huntington postulates don’t include the associative
law, however, this holds for Boolean algebra.
 The distributive law of + over . is valid for Boolean
algebra, but not for ordinary algebra.
 Boolean algebra doesn’t have additive and
multiplicative inverses; therefore, no subtraction
or division operations.
 Postulate 5 defines an operator called complement
that is not available in ordinary algebra.
 Ordinary algebra deals with the real numbers.
Boolean algebra deals with the as yet undefined set
of elements, B, in two-valued Boolean algebra,

TWO-VALUED Boolean
Algebra
A two-valued Boolean algebra is defined on a set
of two elements, B = {0, 1}, with rules for the
two binary operators + and • as shown in the
following operator tables:
x y x•y x y x+y x x’
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 1
These rules are exactly the same as the AND, OR
and NOT operations, respectively.

• To emphasize the similarities between two-
valued Boolean algebra and other binary
systems, this algebra was called “binary logic”.
We shall drop the adjective “two-valued” from
Boolean algebra in subsequent discussions.

elements are interchanged, it is called the
DUALITY PRINCIPLE. We simply
