Computer exam question(s)

[col]

karnaugh maps - I remember those too.

A A A' A'
B B' B B'
C
C'

then you fill in squares and group them together in patterns.

Thats not quite right for a Karnaugh map, it should be:

A A A' A'
B B' B' B
C
C'

Since there can only be one difference at a time

Thanks for your help btw

I used to teach this stuff a few years back

 

[Inter4]

I hope you knew the stuff right back then

 

[Dell19]

I hope I got enough stuff right this morning...

Karnaugh maps were for kiddies. Real men use Boolean algebra.

Karnaugh maps were for kiddies. Real men use Boolean algebra.

I tried to both and probably made mistakes on both...

Which exams are these Dell? More details please - in the interest of letting readers know what is involved in a Computer Science course

 

[Dell19]

I'm doing Computer Science and Business studies...

Well this is all from a module called Computer Organisation and Architecture...
Other CS modules include Discrete Maths (Elements, sets, graphs), Programming for Computer Scientists (Learning Java) and Design of Information structures (More advanced programming with ADTs)

Computer Organisation and Architecture covers everything from Input and output devices to basic processor design and all things Boolean...

Boolean Algebra *shivers*

reckon i'm going to have a little of that in one of my upcoming exams, tho not too much. already have most of that stuff out of the way.

So not looking forward to math next year...

I forgot the other CS module that I do: Professional aspects of computing, which is basically a useless module about the different laws surrounding computers and other issues. The good thing about CBS is we miss a couple of other maths related modules.

 

[Comraddict]

I despise all computer _ colleges other than Computer Engineering

 

[Dell19]

Why exactly?
