NVM it was an error on my part there is not supposed to be a 1 there my mistake lolI am grouping 1’s using the kmap below but I have no idea how to group the 1 that is circled in red. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!View attachment 260834
Do in this case Q3-Q0 should be in the Gray code format instead of binary?What you have drawn is not a Karnaugh map!
You need to identify the number of variables and hence the number of states to be mapped.
Two variables would have 4 states.
Three variables would have 8 states.
Four variables would have 16 states.
:
n variables would have 2^n states.
Transitions from one state to the next must always follow a Gray Code pattern, i.e. only one variable is allow to change state.
You can use either sequence, or any other sequence, but Gray code makes it easier to transfer data to a kmap.Do in this case Q3-Q0 should be in the Gray code format instead of binary?
ThanksCorrect. Use Gray code.

For our edification, what school are you attending? Is it brick and mortar or on-line? Accredited?I wish my professor had told me that it would’ve helped me out a lot
The Gray code is essential for circuit minimization.I wish my professor had told me that it would’ve helped me out a lot

I guess one could hope that it's just one professor or you were absent/not paying attention that day.University of Texas, brick and mortar, and yes accredited
He made that kmap when he was helping me lolI guess one could hope that it's just one professor or you were absent/not paying attention that day.
He might have done that so as not to confuse you. My recollection is that all of my instructors always used Gray code in truth tables. But kmaps are arranged in Gray code order. Before that, maps used a different order.He made that kmap when he was helping me lol
