Introducing a Complex Logic Problem
When dealing with boolean expressions, traditional methods like the Karnaugh Map can quickly become cumbersome, especially as the number of variables increases. Let's explore a complex example from a Wikipedia article on Karnaugh Maps to see how NebulaSolver.com's Logic Solver can simplify the process.
The Example Problem
The following truth table represents a boolean function with four inputs (A, B, C, D) where E is the output:
| A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
The Solution with Karnaugh Map
Using the Karnaugh Map method, the solution to the boolean function is derived through groupings and simplifications. The result is the expression:
(A & ~B) | (A & ~C) | (B & C & ~D)
This method, while effective, can be time-consuming and prone to error as the number of variables increases.
