1 CPSC 121: Models of Computation By the start of the class, you should be able to: Translate back and forth between simple natural language statements and propositional logic. Evaluate the truth of propositional logic statements using truth tables. Translate back and forth between propositional logic statements and circuits that assess the truth of those statements.

2 CPSC W T1 6 CPSC 121: the BIG questions: We are not yet ready to directly address any of the big questions. But this module lays out the ground work for all of them. By the end of this module, you should be able to: Build computational systems to solve real problems, using both propositional logic expressions and equivalent digital logic circuits, The light switches problem from the 1st pre-class quiz. The 7- or 4-segment LED displays we will discuss in class. CPSC W T1 7 Module 1.1: From circuits to propositions Module outline: From circuits to propositions Light switches 7-segment displays More exercises How do we find the logical expression that corresponds to a circuit's output First we write the operator for the gate that produces the circuit's output. The circuit for the first of that gate's inputs will be the operator's left argument. The circuit for the second of that gate's inputs will be the operator's right argument. This is our first algorithm! CPSC W T1 8 CPSC W T1 9

3 Module 1.1: From circuits to propositions Module 1.1: From circuits to propositions Example: ( ( a c) v ( a b ) ) ^ ~( ( a b) ( c d) ) What does this circuit compute Note: when you write a truth table, always list the combinations in the same order. For instance, with 3 variables the first column contains 4 false followed by 4 true. the second column contains 2 false, 2 true, 2 false, 2 true. and the third column alternates false with true. With k variables, the first column has 2 k-1 false and then 2 k-1 true, the second column has 2 k-2 false and then 2 k-2 true (twice), etc. CPSC W T1 10 CPSC W T1 11 Module 1.1: From circuits to propositions What logical expression corresponds to the following circuit Module outline: From circuits to propositions Light switches 7-segment displays More exercises CPSC W T1 12 CPSC W T1 13

4 Module 1.2: Light switches Module 1.2: Light switches Consider again: Design a light that changes state whenever any of the switches that control it is flipped. Ideally your solution would work with any number! How do we approach this Start simple: 1 switch. Then try 2 switches. Then try 3 switches. Then see if we can generalize to n switches. Design a light that changes state whenever any of the switches that control it is flipped. Ideally your solution would work with any number! One switch: first decide on the inputs and output. Which of these should appear in our circuit, as either input or output a) f: the switch is flipped b) s: the switch is on c) l: the light is on d) c: the light changed state CPSC W T1 14 CPSC W T1 15 Module 1.2: Light switches Module 1.2: Light switches Two switches: make sure we understand the problem first. Is the light on or off when both switches are on a) Always on. b) Always off. c) Depends, but a correct solution should always do the same thing. d) Depends, and a correct solution might do different things at different times. Two switches: which circuit(s) work(s) CPSC W T1 16 CPSC W T1 17

5 Module 1.2: Light switches Module 1.2: Light switches Circuit design tip: if you are not sure where to start while designing a circuit, First build the truth table. Then turn it into a circuit. For the three switches problem: We can decide arbitrarily what the output is when all three switches are OFF. This determines the output for all other cases! Let's see how... CPSC W T1 18 What pattern do we observe The light is ON if Now to generalize to n switches... What do you think the answer is How can we convince ourselves that it is correct Mathematical induction CPSC W T1 19 Module outline: From circuits to propositions Light switches 7-segment displays More exercises Problem: design a circuit that displays the numbers 0 through 9 using seven LEDs (lights) in the shape illustrated below. CPSC W T1 20 CPSC W T1 21

6 How do we represent the inputs Use logical (true/false) values. Each integer represented by 1 specific combination of input values. Could we do this randomly Yes! But we won't How many of you know about binary representation Understanding: how many inputs (wires going into the circuit) should there be a) 0 b) 1 c) 4 d) 7 e) 10 f) None of the above CPSC W T1 22 CPSC W T1 23 Here's how we will do it: Number Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 0 F F F F 1 F F F T 2 F F T F 3 F F T T 4 F T F F 5 F T F T 6 F T T F 7 F T T T 8 T F F F 9 T F F T Understanding: how many outputs (lights) are there a) 0 b) 1 c) 4 d) 7 e) 10 f) None of the above CPSC W T1 24 CPSC W T1 25

7 Let's try it out by hand... Which other person's algorithm do you need to know about a) No one else's b) Your neighbours c) The person opposite to you d) Everybody else's e) None of the above. CPSC W T1 26 Let us look at the bottom-left segment. Which is the correct truth table Number Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 0 F F F F 1 F F F T 2 F F T F 3 F F T T 4 F T F F 5 F T F T 6 F T T F 7 F T T T 8 T F F F (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) T T T 0 0 F F F 3 2 T T F 4 6 F F T 8 8 T F T F F F T T F F F F T T T 9 T F F T F F F CPSC W T1 27 From the truth table, we can Write a proposition for each row Or the propositions together. This works for every truth table, but may give a circuit that is much larger than necessary. Let us look at the middle segment now: How many rows of the truth table contain T How can we avoid having that many terms with 4 variables each CPSC W T1 28 Looking back at the bottom-left segment: There may be a simpler proposition, which will translate into a smaller circuit. Can you find a pattern in the rows for which the segment should be on CPSC W T1 29

8 Module 1.4: More exercises Module outline: From circuits to propositions Light switches 7-segment displays More exercises CPSC W T1 30 Prove that our two solutions for the lower-left segment are not logically equivalent. You should do this by providing values for the variables, so the two propositions have different truth values. Why are they both correct solutions, despite that Finish the problem by building circuits for the other 5 segments. Design a circuit that takes three bits as input, and outputs the binary representation for their sum. CPSC W T1 31 Module 1.4: More exercises Build a circuit that displays the numbers 1 through 9 represented by four boolean values p, q, r, and s on a 4-segment boolean display. CPSC W T1 32

earlier in the semester: The Full adder above adds two bits and the output is at the end. So if we do this eight times, we would have an 8-bit adder.

earlier in the semester: The Full adder above adds two bits and the output is at the end. So if we do this eight times, we would have an 8-bit adder. The circuit created is an 8-bit adder. The 8-bit adder adds two 8-bit binary inputs and the result is produced in the output. In order to create a Full 8-bit adder, I could use eight Full -bit adders and
