The basic component of digital electronics,
from which more complex circuits are built.
There are seven main types of gate: Not, And,
Or, Equivalence, Non-Equivalence (also called
Exclusive Or, or Xor), Nand, and Nor. The
type of gate determines how signals are
processed. The process has close parallels in
computer programming, where it forms the
basis of binary logic.
