1. Describe difference between Minterm and Maxterm.

Minterms can be defined as,

 A minterm is the product of N distinct literals where each literal occurs exactly once. It is denoted by “m”.

Maxterms can be defined as,

 A maxterm is the sum of N distinct literals where each literal occurs exactly once. It can be denoted as
“M”.

A literal is a single variable within a term which may or may not be complemented.

2. Make table of minterms and maxterms for 3 variables?

 For a three-variable expression, the minterms and maxterms are as follows

X Y Z Minterm Maxterm

0 0 0 X'.Y'.Z‘ (m0) X+Y+Z (M0)

0 0 1 X'.Y'.Z (m1) X+Y+Z‘ (M1)

0 1 0 X'.Y.Z‘ (m2) X+Y'+Z (M2)

0 1 1 X'.Y.Z (m3) X+Y'+Z‘ (M3)

1 0 0 X.Y'.Z‘ (m4) X'+Y+Z (M4)

1 0 1 X.Y'.Z (m5) X'+Y+Z‘ (M5)

1 1 0 X.Y.Z‘ (m6) X'+Y'+Z (M6)

1 1 1 X.Y.Z (m7) X'+Y'+Z‘ (M7)
