NAND Function

A NAND function is a Boolean function which is simply a combination of the AND function and the NOT function. NOT AND is abbreviated to NAND.

A NAND can be written in the form of

NOT A.B or A.B with a line over the top.

With the line above meaning not IMPORTANT: The line is NOT dotted !!!
