examples.number.ArithmeticCircuit3

public class ArithmeticCircuit3
extends java.lang.Object

Evaluates a circuit corresponding to the function (x+y)×z. Graphically, this circuit can be represented as:

Explanation

The program evaluates this circuit on the input x=2, y=-2, z=0, and then requests the explanation graph corresponding to the resulting output.

Full graph

The full explanation graph corresponding to that explanation is the following.

One can see that the circuit's output value (0) can be explained in two alternate ways: either by the fact that z=0 (rightmost leaf), or by the fact that x=2 and y=2 (leftmost and center leaves).

Simplified graph

The simplified graph only keeps the leaves and intermediate Boolean nodes:
