SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the necessity of including the Q bar (NOT Q) output when drawing timing diagrams for JK flip-flops. It is established that while the Q output is essential, the inclusion of Q bar depends on the specific requirements of the assignment. Typically, Q bar is only shown if it will be utilized in subsequent logic. Inputs must always be displayed to ensure they are properly driven.
