Sample Computations for example 1, i.e. A = 0, B = 0:
(here e^y means e to the power y)

Oc = 1/[1 + e^{y}] where  y = A*Wac + B*Wbc + (-1)*1/2
   = 0.377541               = 0*0.1 + 0*(-0.1) - 0.5 = -0.5

Od = 1/[1 + e^{y}] where  y = A*Wad + B*Wbd + (-1)*1/2
   = 0.377541               = 0*0.1 + 0*(0.05) - 0.5 = -0.5

Oe = 1/[1 + e^{y}] where  y = Oc*Wcd + Od*Wde 
   = 0.509437               = 0.377541*(-0.2) + 0.377541*(0.3)

New Wde (after processing all 4 examples):

New Wde :=  0.300 -0.0481 + 0.0475 + 0.0519 -0.0562 = 0.295
