What is logic gate?
Logic gate: A basic electronic circuit that takes one or more binary inputs and produces one output according to a logical rule such as AND, OR or NOT. Combining billions of gates builds processors and memory.
Logic gate: an example
An AND gate outputs 1 only when both of its inputs are 1.
