Was wondering if someone could check my work.

q) Using KMAP write out the minimal SOP Sum of Products m(1,3,4,5,9,10,11,14,) + d(0)

My solution: w~xy + x~z + ~w~y

q2) Using KMAP write out the minimal Product of Sums equation \pi(3,4,5,7,8,12) + d(13)

My solution: (~w + ~x + y) (w + ~z) (w + x + ~y)


Thanks in advance.. You all are always very helpful.

Nope, without seeing what you did, we can't verify if you did it correctly. Provide a picture of your K-maps and groupings and we can...

Your expression doesn't match with the K-maps you posted, did you make the K-maps, our did you derive the function from the K-map?

Also, you should always list what the order of the variables is.

I used groupings to get the minimized function on the K-Map. What do you mean? I didn't make the K-MAPS they were already made, I just circled groupings for each and then put that corresponding term. Also, they are in order so I'm not quite sure what you are talking about? WX / YZ = x1,x2/x3,x4 essentially. So what do you mean exactly?

Tshuck I'm an idiot. I wrote the previous questions out wrong when I was telling you all because I read the column rows incorrectly. Thanks for pointing that out. As far as the grouping and terms I got.. Is that correct? Im going to edit my very first post right now so it will be clear what the question is stating, even know it;s visual

What is this "+d(0)" and "+d(13)" that you have in there?

Be explicit about your mappings -- don't assume that people that normally read left-to-right are going to assume the same mappings as people that normally read right-to-left.

One simple way to do it, which usually works fine, is something like this:

m => msb {wxyz} lsb

Don't care terms

I usually write it as m(W,X,Y,Z) = 1,2,3,4,5, etc.
