Activity 6.3.2 Logic Gates Introduction A two-valued number system is the basis for all of the powerful computers and electronic devices in the world. Those two values are 0 and 1. Everything in the digital world is based on this binary system. While it seems very simple‚ the binary system is used to create the logic that dictates the actions of complex and simpler digital systems. But how do processors know what to do with all of those 0s and 1s Gates are used. Gates process the 0s and 1s and react

Zadeh in the 1960s in order to provide mathematical rules and functions which permitted natural language queries. Fuzzy logic provides a means of calculating intermediate values between absolute true and absolute false with resulting values ranging between 0.0 and 1.0. With fuzzy logic‚ it is
