Hello,


I'm fairly new in using LogicWorks (took a seminar about a week ago about its functionalities) and I have been given an assignment in which I have to compare the results of two polynomials f(x,y,z) = (x-y)(x-z) g(x)= x^2-2x-3 and display its "error" on a 7-segment LED (as well as its inputs x,y,z on seperate 7-segment LEDs).

That said, I'm having trouble in how to start. I know much of the theoretical concepts, but I'm no sure how to apply it. For instance, do I have to create multipliers to express the function x^2 coupled with subtractors for the other terms in the function g(x)? And for the three input function, f(x,y,z), would mean that I have to make the inputs of x and y to go through a subtractor then use a multiplier to adjoin the outputs of (x-z) with (x-y). Is this a correct train of thought to follow to make this assignment?

Thanks in advance.

 

Well here's what I did, and it worked!


I used a series of subtractors to express (x-y) and (x-z). Since it's the same variable x for each function I connected the same switches for both funtions. I used the output of each individual function and redirected them to a custom multiplier, therefore outputting the product of both functions. It works for only two bit binary digits though. I'm still stumped as to how to display the inputs x,y,z in a 7-segment LED display. Dunno how to even start, or how to make it in LogicWorks.

Is there anyone who has a remote idea of what to do??
