Re: "Re <Sorry Ali but you got things backwards. 'Sequential gates'? You mean combinational gates between sequential elements.>

Just to jump in here. You were correct except for the terminology.

There are always a "series" of logic gates ( Combinatorial function) required to perform a certain function. Designers split up this series by inserting a "clocked" element (a flip-flop - also known as a "sequential" element."

I believe you were actually intending to agree with me as the above quote was mine, not Ali's. I was correcting Ali's misunderstanding of basic design principles. I might add though that a latch is a sequential element as well as a Flip-Flop.
