Solution 32851: Boolean Logic Operation on the TI-36X Pro.

How to I perform Boolean Logic Operation on TI-36X Pro?

The TI-36X Pro scientific calculator can perform logical operation in hexadecimal, octal, decimal, and binary modes. The results are displayed in the current number base. These values (except for NOT and 2's complement) compare the corresponding bits of two values.

To access Boolean Logic you press [2nd] [base n ] and press the [] twice to displays the LOGIC menu, which lets you perform the below Boolean logic.

1: and Bitwise AND of two integers
2: or Bitwise OR of two integers
3: xor Bitwise XOR of two integers
4: xnor Bitwise XNOR of two integers
5: not( Logical NOT of a number
6: 2’s( 2’s complement of a number
7: nand Bitwise NAND of two integers

Please see the below examples:

7 AND 15:

• Press [7] [2nd] [base n] [ [].
• Press [1] [1] [5].
• Press [enter]. The screen yields 7.

7 OR 15:

• Press [7] [2nd] [base n] [] [].
• Press [2] [1] [5].
• Press [enter]. The screen yields 15.

7 XOR 15:

• Press [7] [2nd] [base n] [ [].
• Press [3] [1] [5].
• Press [enter]. The screen yields 8.

15 XNOR 7:

• Press [1] [5] [2nd] [base n] [] [].
•Press [4] [7].
• Press [enter]. The screen yields -9.

194 NAND 48:

• Press [1] [9] [4] [2nd] [base n] [] [].
• Press [7] [4] [8].
• Press [enter]. The screen yields -1
