The output of an inverter will be the complement of the input. The following examples show various
inputs to inverters and the resulting outputs:
The vinculum, or NOT sign, is placed over the entire output or removed from the output, depending
on the input. If we applied A B C to an inverter, the output would be
C
B
A
. And if we ran that output
through another inverter, the output would be A B C
