    Map Product Sums
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on minimizing a Sum of Products equation using a Karnaugh map (K map). Participants review and correct each other's answers, ultimately agreeing that the shortest expression is \bar{w}\bar{y}+xy\bar{z}+w\bar{x}y. One user acknowledges their mistake in grouping terms. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate grouping in K map simplifications.

Awesome thanks.. Mind checking this as well?

Shouldn't that be $\bar y \bar w+\mathbf{\bar{w}x} + y \bar z w+yw\bar x$

Yes, but $\bar{w}\bar{y}+xy\bar{z}+w\bar{x}y$ is shorter.
 
Ahh I see. The correct answer is the 3 term answer provided by Evgeny..Looks like I was grouping wrong, or unnecessarilly. Thanks guys.

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
