combinational logic

Combinational logic refers to the way electronic circuits process signals to produce a specific output based solely on current input values. These circuits use logic gates—such as AND, OR, and NOT—to perform operations like addition, subtraction, or decision-making. The key feature is that the output depends directly on the present inputs, without memory of past states. This allows for real-time computation, forming the foundation for digital systems like computers, where data is processed through interconnected logic gates to perform tasks quickly and accurately.
