What gate is often referred to as the basic gate? Why is it referred to as the basic gate?

What will be an ideal response?


The NAND gate is often referred to as the basic gate because it can be used to make any of the other gates. If a NAND gate is used as an INVERTER and is connected to the output of another NAND gate, it will become an AND gate. When two NAND gates are connected as INVERTERS, and these INVERTERS are connected to the inputs of another NAND gate, an OR gate is formed. If an INVERTER is added to the output of an OR gate, a NOR gate is formed.
