A Top Combiner Chip.
A Top Combiner Chip is one of the possible Logic Chips that appear in the Electronics Mini-Game.
This chip transfers electricity to the top wire if either or both of the input wires is carrying electricity. It always passes no electricity out the bottom wire.
Action[]
The Top Combiner acts solely on the top output wire. It will pass electricity along this wire if there's any electricity coming into the chip on either path.
The bottom output wire remains green regardless of the input!
Expression[]
The logic of a Top Combiner chip can be expressed using the following pseudo code:
Bottom_Output = Green;
If (Top_Input == Red) OR (Bottom_Input == Red) THEN
{
Top_Output = Red;
}
else
{
Top_Output = Green;
}
Possible Outcomes[]
| Possibility #1 | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| Since no electricity flows in either wire, no electricity goes out on either wire. | ||||||||
| Same result as: |
| Possibility #2 | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| Electricity flows into the chip (on the top wire), causing it to flow out the top wire. | ||||||||
| Same result as: |
| Possibility #3 | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| Electricity flows into the chip (on the bottom wire), causing it to flow out the top wire. | ||||||||
| Same result as: |
| Possibility #4 | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| Electricity flows into the chip (on both wires), causing it to flow out the top wire. | ||||||||
| Same result as: |
