I will not be in class on Monday or Wednesday next week.   You must be in class.  Professor Mata-Toledo will use the handout I am distributing to illustrate the application of mathematical induction to proving programs correct.  You must bring this to class both days. 

 

You need to bring the Homework Assignment I post tonight or tomorrow to class on Tuesday and turn it in to him.

            flip-flops

           

            A flip-flop is a binary cell capable of storing one bit of information

            It has 2 outputs – one for the normal output value and one for its complement

 

            Traditionally there are four types of flip-flops   RS, JK, T, and D
