Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
A flip-flop is a 1-bit bistable multivibrator storage cell with two stable output states ( and ). The four fundamental operations that can be performed on flip-flops (such as JK, SR, D, and T flip-flops) are:
1. Set: Forcing the output to logic 1 ().
2. Reset / Clear: Forcing the output to logic 0 ().
3. Hold / No Change: Retaining the previous state ().
4. Toggle: Inverting the output to its complement ().
Arithmetic multiplication is a complex combinational/sequential arithmetic process, not a primitive operational state of a single flip-flop.
