SUMMARY
The discussion centers on constructing a truth table for the logical expression Y = A.B.D + A.not(C).D + A.not(B).C.D + A.D. The truth table evaluates all combinations of the variables A, B, C, and D, resulting in the output Y. The analysis concludes that the function Y will yield a value of 1 only when both A and D are 1, irrespective of the values of B and C. This simplifies the expression to Y = A.D.
