hello

it is often mentioned in IT science that electronics can understand 0 and 1 (active or inactive current)

but why not grades of current?

thanks

Are you referring to 3 or more state logic?

It is a case of accuracy, the levels MUST be very well defined; if only there was a 10-state device!

Also, multi-state Boolean Algebra is hideously complex.

mm not sure about these, it was just a thought

thanks for the hint, I will research about them

That term makes me shudder every time someone refers to it. Too bad I'll have to use it for the next three years of university...

Don't panic, gamehead200, 2-state Boolean Algebra isn't complex; it's actually very straight forward.

That's probably what I'll be learning in my next semester. Sigh...

If you get stuck, let me know!

I remember those classes well too. Not sure if I was fond of it. Fortunately it gets very easy once you are in school, but I can't remember most of it anymore. Its been too long. It sucks for me because when I was in college, the program was in a transition period. All courses were geared for mainframe programming, and I remember we were supposed to take two semesters about UARTS. Then they dropped the second semester course and I was so disappointed.
