Question

Logic can be implemented in many ways. Using the of boolean and your understanding of logic gates, do the following:

(1) Using the example of of a basic alarm clock, what are some of the inputs and outputs that you would expect to define for this device?

(2) What can you make this clock to do, assuming it ha buttons Time, Alarm, Hour, Minute, and snooze? Feel free to define any other variables you think ou need.

(3) Describe the logic that you would implement in the software to control the inputs and outputs of the alarm clock using AND, OR, and other types of gates.

Explanation / Answer

1)- INPUTS: inputs will be time in hours, minutes and seconds for which alarm would be set. so we would need to save these values of hours, minutes and seconds into some variables.

OUTPUTS: output would be to ring the alarm when the time given by user has reached.

2)- we can implement the basic functionality of alarm using this alarm clock. apart from it we can take input from user that for how much time we need to snooze the clock and again then beep the alarm. so we would need additional set of variables which would take snooze time values.

3)- we could implement the simple logic , which is we would compare the hours by the hours entered by user,and that of the current hours and we would AND this value with minutes and seconds comparision and if the total expression gives us the ture value then we would make the clock beep otherwise not. same can be done for snooze case.
