Engineering ECE - logic circuit for a 4 bit input which counts 1s in input

AI Thread Summary
A logic circuit is needed to count the number of 1s in a 4-bit input using basic gates. The discussion emphasizes starting with an enumeration of basic building blocks, such as AND, OR, and NOT gates, to understand their functions. Participants suggest breaking down the problem into manageable parts to facilitate the design process. The importance of understanding how to combine these gates effectively is highlighted. Overall, the focus is on constructing a circuit that accurately computes the count of 1s in the input.
