Last Updated : 25 Nov, 2021

In Boolean Algebra, the NAND and NOR gates are called universal gates because any
digital circuit can be implemented by using any one of these two i.e. any logic gate can be
created using NAND or NOR gates only.

Every logic gate has a representation symbol. The below image shows a graphical
representation of all logic gates.
