One of the most powerful features of a computer is the power to use logic and make decisions. In the scope of computer architecture, complex forms of logical implementation can be performed by the most basic form of electronic circuit called logic gates. In essence, there exist seven basic logic gates: AND, OR$,$ NOT, NAND, XOR, NOR, and XNOR. $[$I provide more context in the accompanying video.$]$

An actual physical gate can be created if given the appropriate materials $($silicon wafer, capacitors, leads, etc.$)$ However, in this lab you will be creating and testing gates that you create digitally in Verilog.

Of the seven gates, NAND and NOR are referred to as the Universal Gates. This means that every gate can be created by a series of all NAND gates or all NOR gates. You will demonstrate this is true by $($Part A$)$ making a NOR gate using only NAND gates and $($Part B$)$ making a NAND gate using only NOR gates.

Instructions

Part A

Open Visual Studio Code. Click Open Folder and select the Lab$2$a folder $($that you created in Lab $1).$

Create the modules NANDgate and NORusingNAND.

a$.$ You will create two modules on one $.$v file. Hover your cursor over the Lab$2$a folder in the Explorer Pane and click the New File button. Name the new file 'NORusingNAND.v

b$.$ Type the following code $->($The accompanying video provides an explanation.$)$ Enter comments explaining what the code does. CODE WITH NO COMMENTS GET NO CREDIT.
