Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around filling out a truth table for a system with three inputs (y2, y1, y0) representing a 3-bit unsigned integer, and a single output (f). The output f is defined to be 1 if and only if the integer value Y, derived from the inputs, satisfies the condition 1 < Y ≤ 6. The focus is on evaluating the truth table based on this specification.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion about how to evaluate the truth table based on the given specification.
  • Another participant explains the process of converting binary numbers to decimal equivalents and indicates that the truth table should reflect which numbers fall within the specified range.
  • A participant proposes their answer for the output f, suggesting values for each row of the truth table.
  • Some participants clarify that the inequality 1 < Y ≤ 6 is strict on one side, noting that there are five valid values for Y that satisfy the condition.
  • Further discussion reveals that a participant realizes they missed accounting for the upper limit of the inequality and suggests that the output for one of the rows should be adjusted to reflect this.
  • Another participant confirms the adjustment regarding the output for the row corresponding to the value 6.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express confusion and seek clarification on how to evaluate the truth table. There is a consensus on the interpretation of the inequality, but there is some uncertainty about the correct outputs for the truth table, particularly regarding the inclusion of the value corresponding to Y = 6.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the need for careful consideration of the boundaries of the specified inequality and the conversion of binary to decimal values. There are unresolved aspects regarding the exact outputs for each row of the truth table.

Fill out the truthe table for the following specification. Given a system with 3 inputs(y2,y1,y0) and a single output (f), where Y = y2,y1,y0 represents a 3 bit unsigned integer (Y is the decimal equivalent), determine the truth table for f such that f = 1 if and only if 1 < Y <= 6 (Y is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 6).

  • y2 y1 y0 | f
  • 0 0 0 |
  • 0 0 1 |
  • 0 1 0 |
  • 0 1 1 |
  • 1 0 0 |
  • 1 0 1 |
  • 1 1 0 |
  • 1 1 1 |

How in the world am I supposed to evaluate this? I am so confused.

Do you know how to convert binary numbers to decimals? The truth table lists 8 3-bit binary numbers (the decimal equivalents are from 0 to 7), and you need to write 1 next to those numbers that are greater than 1 and less than or equal to 6.
 
would my answer be..$f$

The required inequality 1 < Y ≤ 6 is strict only on one side. The number of different Y's satisfying it is 6 - 1 = 5.

So I'm missing a 1 then - correct?

so my 7th row or [6th row ] whatever you'd like to call it; should be a 1 as well because I didn't account for <= 6. and 2^1 + 2^2 = 6; 6 <= 6 = 1

Yes.
