is a fundamental concept in computer science and mathematics. It deals with the representation and manipulation of two values: and . These values are known as Boolean values, and they form the building blocks of . Boolean algebra is a mathematical system that defines operations and rules for manipulating Boolean values.
A is a symbol or word used to combine Boolean values or expressions. There are three basic Boolean operators: AND, OR, and NOT. The returns True only if both operands are True; otherwise, it evaluates to False. On the other hand, the returns True if at least one operand is True, and it evaluates to False only if both operands are False. Lastly, the is a unary operator that negates the input value. It returns True if the input is False and vice versa.
The behavior of Boolean operators can be better understood by studying the , which is a table that shows all possible combinations of inputs and their corresponding outputs for a Boolean function. Each row represents a distinct input combination, and the corresponding output is determined by the Boolean operator being used. Truth tables provide a visual representation of the relationship between inputs and outputs, allowing for a deeper understanding of Boolean logic.
