Computer Science

an operator used in a Boolean expression, for example AND, OR and NOT

the order in which the instructions in a program are executed

Implementing Boolean logic in Python

In this unit pupils will discover that Boolean logic is a way of describing circuits inside a computer. They will recognise logic gates as the building blocks of processors. They will be able to construct logic diagrams, truth tables and simplify Boolean expressions.
