  3. Entering states of the outputs into the truth table

  4. Setting up the logic functions according to the OR normal form or according to the AND normal form

  5. Simplifying the logic functions

The simplification of logic functions is usually quite complex and prone to errors. For this reason, you should rely on software-based support for the development process. Python provides developers with a powerful tool for simplifying complex logic functions: the simplify_logic(y) method from the SymPy module.
