I understand that they're two separate maps, but I don't see how E actually enters the table — for the same values of A, B, C, and D, the two maps can give different outputs. Why does changing E change the result, and where does E appear in the final expression?

Is it 2^n?


n - number of variables?

Is there a possibility to have more than 5 variables in real applications? Is 5 the max? https://padlet.com/uob/s023tf35jarstyx202ir/wish/4063938785 2026-09-22 12:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/uob/s023tf35jarstyx202ir/wish/4063938785
