This CD holds the basic logic functions.
equivalent
This symbol is used to show that two boolean expressions are logically
equivalent, that is have the same boolean value for any inputs.
The condition (A is equivalent to B) is equivalent to the
condition that (A implies B and B implies A)
not
This symbol represents the logical not function which takes one boolean
argument, and returns the opposite boolean value.
for all x | not(not(x))=x
and
This symbol represents the logical and function which is an n-ary
function taking boolean arguments and returning a boolean value. It
is true if all arguments are true or false otherwise.
for all x | x and not(x) = false
xor
This symbol represents the logical xor function which is an n-ary
function taking boolean arguments and returning a boolean
value. It is true if there are an odd number of true arguments or
false otherwise.
for all x | x xor x = false
for all x | x xor not(x) = true
or
This symbol represents the logical or function which is an n-ary
function taking boolean arguments and returning a boolean value. It
is true if any of the arguments are true or false otherwise.
for all x | x or not(x) = true
for all a,b | not(a and b)= (not(a) or not(b))
implies
This symbol represents the logical implies function which takes two
boolean expressions as arguments. It evaluates to false if the first
argument is true and the second argument is false, otherwise it
evaluates to true.
for all x | false implies x
true
This symbol represents the boolean value true.
not true = false
false
This symbol represents the boolean value false.
not false = true
