What are logical gates?

    What are they, and what does each of them do? [OR, AND, XOR, NOT, etc]

    I've tried making a not gate, it seems it's the only one I manage to make...

    Have a look at some of these, and you can figure out how it is done by seeing weather PTCT or NTCT is used, or just NSCN/ PSCN, or a combination. (use these in combination with things like websites explaining them)

    Primary gates:
      NOT gate is a system that has 1 input and 1 output
        If it has 1 on input, then it makes 0 on output
        If it has 0 on input, then it makes 1 on output

      OR gate is a system that has 2 inputs and 1 output
        If it has 1 on any input, then it makes 1 on output
        else it makes 0 on output

      AND gate is a system that has 2 inputs and 1 output
        If it has 1 on BOTH inputs, then it makes 1 on output
        else it makes 0 on output

      XOR gate is a system thata has 2 inputs and 1 output
        If it has 1 on ONLY ONE(not both) of inputs it makes 1 on output
        else it makes 0 on output

    Secondary gates:
      NOR gate is a system that has 2 inputs and 1 output
        If it has 1 on any input, then it makes 0 on output
        else it makes 1 on output

      NAND gate is a system that has 2 inputs and 1 output
        If it has 1 on BOTH inputs, then it makes 0 on output
        else it makes 1 on output

      XNOR gate (or NXOR gate) is a system thata has 2 inputs and 1 output
        If it has 1 on ONLY ONE(not both) of inputs it makes 0 on output
        else it makes 1 on output

    Oh we need to add this to wiki

    Its not confusing. Logic gates do what their name suggests. (except for ALU gates..)
