# Logic circuits

> Now that we are familiar with the individual [logic gates](Logic_gates.md) and their truth conditions we are in a position to create **logic circuits**. These are combinations of logic gates controlled by inputs that can provide a range of useful outputs. The output of a logic gate is a function of the truth-values of the individual gates and their connections to each other.
## Basic example
In the below circuit we have the following gates connected to two inputs with one output, moving through the following stages:
1. `AND`, `NOT` , `NOT`
1. `AND`, `NOT`, `NOT`
1. `AND`, `NOR`
This is equivalent to the following truth table:

In essence the main memory is just a large storage area for a bunch of binary digits. Each slot for a 0 or 1 is called a bit:
