Built an 8 way OR chip

In this activity, we have to build an 8 way OR chip. An 8 way chip is a specific case of an n-ary chip. It takes n (in this case 8) inputs.

An 8 way Or chip, basically takes 8 inputs and applies the OR function on all of them, and finally provides the output on it's 'out' line.

We will built an 8 way OR chip, using the regular 2 pin OR chip, which we have already built.

We have to cascade multiple of these chips to get the output. There are different ways to cascade them... some more efficient than others.

The code for this activity is embedded below.
