The logic of AND and OR
AND and OR originate from a form of math called "Boolean algebra." In this form of algebra, values are represented by bits, rather than with numbers. When I write "0", in Boolean logic, this represents a value of FALSE, rather than an integer of 0. If I write "1", this represents a value of TRUE. AND and OR are conjunctive and disjunctive operations, which we can also apply to everyday language. If I say the following, would you evaluate it as TRUE or FALSE? "I use a phone AND a computer everyday." AND requires that both statements on either side be TRUE in order for the entire statement to be true. To find out if this is TRUE or FALSE, break down the statement into pieces. What two statements are being evaluated? What does each statement evaluate as to you? "I use a phone everyday." = TRUE "I use a computer everyday." = TRUE Since, for myself, each of these are true, then I can change my or...
