Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs)

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are visual tools used to represent complex logical expressions or relationships efficiently. Imagine a flowchart where each decision point asks a yes/no question about a variable, leading to different outcomes. BDDs organize these decisions in a structured, compressed tree-like diagram, enabling quick evaluation of whether a certain condition is true or false. They help simplify and analyze digital logic systems, such as circuits or algorithms, by reducing redundant information and making the logical structure easier to understand and manipulate.
