Confused with this !

Dr_Doggy is right. You have to set the values at RC0 & RC1 so they go to the inputs of the 1st NAND gate. Then you test the output of the 1st NAND gate at RD0....

You have to repeat the test 4 times for the combinations of 00, 01,10 11. AFter that you have to repeat the same test for the rest of the other 3 NAND gates.....

p/s "code tag" doesnt work on my PC (XP). Does others have the same problem?

I am dropping out of this thread. I don't understand the OP's logic. Allen (absf) has provided a schematic that will work and both he and Dr_Doggy have provided the testing proceedure but the OP is doing things like testing the inputs to the gates and expecting that information to say if the gate is working. At no point does he try to setup the input conditions. This is why I asked him the questions "How would you test a nand gate." and do you know which are the inputs and output of a NAND gate. I would expect anyone doing even the most basic electronics course to know what a NAND gate does. If he does not understand what he is suppost to be testing he is not in a position to start writing code. I think the OP needs to re sit the course.
