Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a state machine that operates the counter logic with an added functionality of wrapping around. For example, if it exceeds 15, it should wrap back to 0 when counting up and wrap to 15 when counting down past 0.

💡 Hint: Draw a truth table to visualize how counts would change.

Challenge 2 Hard

You're tasked with creating a digital clock using a counter setup. Describe the adjustments made to the Up/Down counter logic.

💡 Hint: Reference how clocks typically divide counts into timeframes.
