> Now that we are familiar with the individual logic gates and their truth conditions we are in a position to create **logic circuits**. These are combinations of logic gates controlled by inputs that can provide a range of useful outputs.
## Basic example
In the below circuit we have the following gates connected to two inputs with one output, moving through the following stages:
1. `AND`, `NOT` , `NOT`
1. `AND`, `NOR`
This is equivalent to the following truth table:
````
A B Output
_ _ _____
0 0 0 (1)
1 0 1 (2)
0 1 1 (3)
1 1 0 (4)
````

*Line 2 and 3 of the truth table (equivalent to each other)*

## Applied example
With this circuit we have a more interesting applied example.
It corresponds to an automatic sliding door and has the following states
* a proximity sensor that opens the doors when someone approached from outside
* a proximity sensor that opens the doors when someone approaches from the inside
* a manual override that locks both approaches (inside and out) meaning no one can enter of leave
Here's a visual representation:!

The following truth table represents this behaviour, with A and B as the door states, C as the override and X as the door action (0 = open, 1 = closed)
````
A B C X
_ _ _ _
0 0 0 0
1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
1 1 0 0
0 0 1 0
1 0 1 1
0 1 1 1
1 1 1 1
