Or8Way vs Or16Way

markbrodie

Hi,

I'm envisaging sketching the ALU on a board in front of the class, and I was curious why, instead of using the Or8Way twice, with an additional Or, to check that the ALU output is 0, why not have chapter1 create an Or16Way and use that instead?

Thanks,

Mark

Twelve years later, as I'm working through these projects on my own, I have the same question.  

Without benefit of instructors or classmates, some details and construction requirements can be difficult to understand given the supplied documentation.  I will say though, that between the course book, all of the supplied lecture and project reading material, and the online Q&A Forum, with perseverance and study I've been able to follow along, and I probably have a better understanding for having to nut some things out on my from time to time.

All in all, for the minimal cost for access to it, this course is an excellent resource, and the creators have done great service by making it readily available.
