!(a or b)
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_NOR for more
your first alternative: !(a or b)
which happens to be equivalent to !a and !b
NOR(a, b)
is defined to be NOT(OR(a, b))
which is !(a or b)
in infix notation. By De Morgan's Laws, this is also equivalent to (!a) and (!b)
.
((a NAND a) NAND (b NAND b)) NAND ((a NAND a) NAND (b NAND b))
if you want to be circuit fabrication friendly. :)
