I have been reading how boolean logic works at howstuffworks.com and i dont really understand the nand and nor. Can someone explain them?

Thanks

Keith2045,  look at this link for a better explanation of Nand and Nor: Florin.syr .  It's a way of providing basic logic through a binary code.

Thanks for the link. It seems like that the link you gave me is completely different from the content at howstuffworks. What i was reading was about gates and memory.

Thanks

keith2045, it's all in how the subject is demonstrated. Sometimes you can receive too much information which inturn leads to confustion. Another way of looking at what you asked is thinking of it as Geometry. Nand AND NOR are pretty simple concepts if you do not think of them in terms of grammar.  "Cogito, ergo sum" ie. I think therefore I am.
