🔍 Why This Matters
AND is powerful—but it’s not the only way to think. Computers use many rules to make smarter decisions.
Let’s now explore:
-
OR: Good when even one input is enough
-
NOT: Flips a decision
⚡ OR Gate – The Easygoing Rule
“Turn ON if at least one input is ON.”
Imagine:
-
You press button A → light turns ON
-
You press button B → light turns ON
-
You press both → light still ON
-
Only when both are OFF → light is OFF
This is useful for alerts:
-
“Is the door open OR the window broken?”
If either one is true, the alarm goes off.
🔄 NOT Gate – The Opposite Rule
“If it’s ON, make it OFF. If it’s OFF, make it ON.”
One switch goes in, the opposite comes out.
This helps flip decisions:
-
“If button is NOT pressed, show message.”
-
“If light is NOT detected, turn it ON.”
