From Logic Gates to FPGA LUTs youtu.be/BJscdAz9eMs?si=7mKu… The same logical function can have different physical implementations. A board may use dedicated logic-gate chips, an ASIC may use standard cells, and an FPGA may implement a function using a lookup table.

XOR Is Important for Error Detection youtube.com/watch?v=ElmW9lqs… Computers constantly move data. Data moves between the CPU and memory. It moves across networks. It moves between storage devices. Whenever data moves, errors are possible. XOR is widely used in mechanisms that help detect those errors. A simple example is parity.
