A logic function is a unique mapping from Bn into B [18]. Thus, 2n values 0 or 1 define such a function and must be considered for each operation with this function. Logic operations with up to four, five or six variables can be performed by hand, because only 24=16, 25=32, or 26=64 values must be used. In practical applications, however, the number of variables the logic function is depending on is much larger, therefore, thousands or millions of logic values must be manipulated without any error. Obviously a computer and suitable software are required to solve realistic logic problems.
