Lesson 9 - Binary operations

The computer works in a binary system. There are only 2 states (0/1) that one input can take. In general, we can convert states 0/1 to false (0) and true (1) - The whole computer can be built on the principle of Boolean algebra (part of the field of mathematical logic). Boolean algebra has two states (true and false) and a set of several functions, thanks to which we can express different conditions and conclusions. In today's article, we'll go through the individual functions, talk about how they are implemented in C++ and how you can work with them.

Logical functions

A logic function usually accepts two inputs and has one output. Both inputs and outputs are 0/1 or true / false. For the article, we will go through only the functions that are available in C++. Each function can be determined by
