AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around simplifying a logic expression using the Quine-McCluskey algorithm, specifically the expression f=ABC'+ACD'+A'B'D+B'CD+A'C'D. Participants emphasize the importance of demonstrating one's work before seeking help, as it allows others to provide more effective guidance. There is a suggestion to post homework-related questions in a designated section of the forum. The original poster expresses confusion about simplifying expressions with varying numbers of variables, indicating they understand the method conceptually but struggle with specific applications. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for clarity and effort in problem-solving when seeking assistance.

I was asked to simplify this logic expression using Quinne-Mcclusky algorithm:

f=ABC'+ACD'+A'B'D+B'CD+A'C'D

need help!

thanks in advance!

What is the Quinne-Mcclusky algorithm, specifically? Can you summarize it please? Thanks.
 
This sounds like a HW problem.. If it is.. there is a place to post
EE homework.. just follow the hyperlink.. Try to delete your duplicate post on this page, just select edit and delete. (you may be able to delete both of them and then you can post under homework questions) If you cannot delete your posts here, just ask an administrator and they will move it..

Regarding your question, there is something else you need to be aware off.. Read this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=94388.. Before any of us can assist you or anyone, you need to show your work and thoughts on a problem.. When we see that you are trying, we can help steer you in a successful direction..

If this is just a general question that you have been pondering.. You still need to show your thoughts on it first.. Then I would start helping by asking you, What do you know about the Quinn McCluskey method? What sort of applications have you already used or oberved it used on?

edit: You see, I am not the only one who would start you off with a question...:wink:
(also check your spelling of the method before doing a search on the net)

Anyway, I've tried to solve this problem by myself, but unfortunately I've got the same logic expression so I couldn't simplify my logic expression using that method...I was some confused about simplifying such logic ABC'+A'B'D as each term consists of three variables of four , I have no problem with simplifying logic expression such as ABCD'+A'B'CD as each term consists of four variables of four... hope that I could explain my problem... my problem is not with understanding the method in general !

thanks a lot!

Another thing, i want to apologize for the wrong post in wrong section...i'm sorry!

best regards!
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
