One approach to handling fuzzy logic data might be to design a computer using ternary (base-3) logic so that data could be stored as "true," "false," and "unknown." If each ternary logic element is called a flit, how many flits are required to represent at least 256 different values?
- A.
4
- B.
5
- C.
6
- D.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Each flit has 3 possible values. We need 3^n >= 256. Since 3^5 = 243 and 3^6 = 729, at least 6 flits are required.
