AND Gate and NAND gate in DLD Digital Logic Design

What is AND Gate?

The AND Gate performs logical multiplication function. AND Gate can have many  inputs and a single output.  AND Gate can be represented by the figures shown below;

What is NAND Gate?

The NAND Gate performs a combination of an AND gate and a NOT gate.

A NAND Gate can have multiple inputs and a single output.
