an operator used in a Boolean expression, for example AND, OR and NOT

the order in which the instructions in a program are executed

Implementing Boolean logic in Python

Boolean logic and logic gates

Introduction to logic circuit design

Logic statements and expressions

Creating logic circuits

Truth tables

Logic gate simulator software

In this unit pupils will discover that Boolean logic is a way of describing circuits inside a computer. They will recognise logic gates as the building blocks of processors. They will be able to construct logic diagrams, truth tables and simplify Boolean expressions.
