A student asks:

     In question 5 part a: "Complete a truth table for the gate
     level logic circuit shown in Figure 2 above"

     Figure 2 shows 5 inputs. 2^5 = 32. Is the question asking for a
     truth table 32 lines long or am I completely misuderstanding the
     question?

I assume you discussed this with the other members of your study group. What did they think?

     -Thanks

If a logic circuit has 5 inputs, then a truth table has to have one row for each possible input combination. With 5 inputs, it sounds like 2^5 rows to me.

Good luck with the rest of it.
