Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 7, Problem 41E
Explanation of Solution
4NF being more desirable than BCNF:
- The Boyce Code Normal Form (BCNF) is used for eliminating all the redundancies based on functional dependencies.
- The Fourth Normal Form (4NF) involves the idea of multi-valued functional dependencies.
- The reasons why 4NF is more desirable than BCNF are as follows:
- It effectively decreases the repetition of information.
- Repetition of information is one of the three goals for relational
databases. ..

This ALU will implement a bitwise left rotation. Forthis lab assignment you are not allowed to use Digital's Arithmetic components.IF YOU ARE FOUND USING THEM, YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR LAB2!The ALU you will be implementing consists of two 4-bit inputs (named inA and inB) and one 4-bit output (named out). Your ALU must rotate the bits in inA by the amount given by inB (i.e. 0-15).Part-1: User InterfaceYou are provided an interface file lab2_part1.dig; start Part-1 from this file.NOTE: You are not permitted to edit the content inside the dotted lines rectangle. Part-1: ExampleIn the figure above, the input values that we have selected to test are inA = {inA_3, inA_2, inA_1, inA_0} = {0, 1, 0,0} and inB = {inB_3, inB_2, inB_1, inB_0} = {0, 0, 1, 0}. Therefore, we must rotate the bus 0100 bitwise left by00102, or 2 in base 10, to get {0, 0, 0, 1}. Please note that a rotation left is…arrow_forwardSolve this "Do not use AI tools.
