Regarding digital electronics Karnaugh map

[ashwini jayaraman]

In 4X4 K-map, can I loop top 1st two columns with the bottom 1st two columns???

I did that. But, when I verified with the solutions manual , they have done the looping separately.What I did is right or wrong ??

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks.

K-Map is the algebraic simplification of binary variables.What you did is correct but the only mistake that people generally make is that they interchange the position of the variables whose binary value is 11 with 10.Check it.
