Develop a boolean logic simulator that will take two input files and create wire traces of the input and output wires (as specified in the files). Specifically, one file will detail the circuit (called the “circuit file”), while one will detail how each input wire changes as time goes by (called the “vector file”). Develop a boolean logic simulator that will take two input files and create wire traces of the input and output wires (as specified in the files). Specifically, one file will detail the circuit (called the “circuit file”), while one will detail how each input wire changes as time goes by (called the “vector file”).
There are several caveats: there is no error handling for badly written Circuit/Vector files, and When run, the program will ask for a circuit name. This will be used to open two files (<circuitname>.txt and
<circuitname>\_v.txt). The first is the Circuit file and the second is the Vector file. These files will
be detailed later. It will also ask for a time to simulate the circuit to. This time is used in the case
of oscillating (i.e. unstable) wires.
There are several caveats to this project: there is no error handling for badly written Circuit/Vector files, and
there are only seven gates to choose from (NOT, OR, AND, NOR, NAND, XOR, XNOR). there are only seven gates to choose from (NOT, OR, AND, NOR, NAND, XOR, XNOR).
