I was sitting in my digital logic class and my professor was going over latches and I didn't quite understand how they had an initial state when their initial state depended on a previous state. I asked my professor how they get this initial state and she went around in circles saying that if its state is not off it's on and vice-versa. Not wanting to waste anymore class time I just let it rest. Today she returns back to the topic saying, "who cares?"

How does a latch get its initial state? I'm guessing that it depends on race conditions and which ever condition comes first then that is the state that the latch starts off with.

How much should an electrical engineer really knowdoes a latch determine its initial state?

I was sitting in my digital logic class and my professor was going over latches and I didn't quite understand how they had an initial state when their initial state depended on a previous state. I asked my professor how they get this initial state and she went around in circles saying that if its state is not off it's on and vice-versa. Not wanting to waste anymore class time I just let it rest. Today she returns back to the topic saying who, "who cares? I was a bit miffed because I thought we were supposed to know as much about electrical topics as possible especially the most fundamental concepts. So how much do I actually need to be a successful electrical engineer? Just generalities? Some details?"

Oh and howHow does a latch get its initial state.? I'm guessing that it depends on race conditions and which ever condition comes first then that is the state that the latch starts off with.
