A Top Inverter Chip.

A Top Inverter Chip is one of the possible Logic Chips that appear in the Electronics Mini-Game.

This chip inverts the state of the top wire, leaving the bottom wire unchanged.

Action[]

The Top Inverter chip reads the status of the top input wire, and applies the opposite status to the top output wire.

The bottom wire passes through the chip completely unchanged.

Expression[]

The logic of a Top Inverter chip can be expressed using the following pseudo code:

Top_Output = The_Opposite_Of (Top_Input);
Bottom_Output = Bottom_Input;

Possible Outcomes[]

Possibility #1
Input Chip Output

Electronics SafeWire Large Electronics SafeWire Large
The top wire is carrying no electricity into the chip, so after inversion it suddenly carries an electric current. The bottom wire is untouched, entering and exiting with no electric current.
Same result as:


Possibility #2
