MHB What are the practical uses of logic gates in computing and electronics?

AI Thread Summary
Logic gates are fundamental components in digital circuits, enabling various applications such as arithmetic operations, data processing, and control systems. They are used in computing devices to perform calculations, manage data flow, and execute logical operations. For instance, NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and XOR gates can be combined to create complex circuits that perform tasks like addition and subtraction in arithmetic logic units (ALUs). Additionally, logic gates play a crucial role in digital signal processing, where they help manipulate signals for applications like audio and video processing. A binary selective mask is a technique used in digital systems to filter or manipulate binary data. It allows for the selection of specific bits within a binary number, enabling operations like masking certain bits to isolate or modify data. This concept is often applied in data encryption, error detection, and correction processes, enhancing the functionality of logic gates in various applications.

what are some applications of logic gates? (NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR)

also what is a binary selective mask

You can use logic gates to perform arithmetic. You can check the wiki for uses of the binary selective mask.
 
i mean like in what sort of applications do use use those gates or their functions. for example an application of an analog device is a mic because it takes the sound waves amplifies it to a higher volume and then the speaker then releases the sound waves.
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
Thread 'Project Documentation'
Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
