1. Using the 74LS32 OR or 74LS08 AND IC connected to only Vcc and GND, if you place a connection from the output of any gate to a resistor (470 will work) and LED, why would the LED be ON when nothing is connected to the gate inputs? How can the input pins be held at logic 0?

Using single pole single throw (SPST) switches, verify the logic behavior of a single gate in the 74LS08 AND and 74LS32 OR IC. Use pull-up or pull-down resistors (1k ). ATTACH SCREENSHOTS
