Karnaugh map or K-map discussion.

2,3,4,5 variables K-map are ways of minimizing the Boolean functions using diagrams which are made up of squares. By minimization we imply a function with minimum number of terms and each term with lowest number of literals.

Following k-map for 2-5 variables are discussed in this section:

1) Two variables K-map

Two variable Karnaugh map (K-map) and 2 var kmap example discussed below.

First write the Truth Table for 2 variables x and y.

Once we know all the values in table its easier to plot the 2 var k-map.
