🔍 Can we use Switches to Make a Choice!?
We now know that switches can turn electricity ON or OFF. That’s great for sending messages. But what if we want a machine to make a choice?
👉 What if we want to say, “If A is ON and B is ON, then turn the light ON”?
That’s where logic begins.
🧩 Logic Is Just Clear Rules
In real life, we make choices using logic every day:
-
“If it’s raining AND I forgot my umbrella, I’ll stay inside.”
-
“If I’m hungry OR it’s lunchtime, I’ll eat.”
Computers do the same thing—but using electricity.
They use logic switches to do this. These are tiny electric parts that follow exact rules.
⚙️ The Three Basic Logic Rules
-
AND – “Only turn ON if both are ON.”
-
OR – “Turn ON if one or both are ON.”
-
NOT – “Do the opposite. If it’s ON, turn OFF.”
Just these three rules let computers make choices, follow steps, and do math.
