Logic Truth Tables

Truth tables are used to elaborate logical expressions and prove equivalence by listing all possible combinations of true and false values for variables. A truth table for "not" shows it changes the value of its operand, while tables for "and" and "or" show the possible outcomes when applying the operators to two variables. Truth tables can demonstrate the equivalence of logical statements by producing identical columns, such as for A ⇔ ∨¬B.

Logic: Truth Tables Truth tables are a useful means of elaborating logical expressions or proving the equivalence of logical statements. The effect of the logical operator not is to change the value of the operand from true to false or from false to true. The truth table for not is as follows: A T F not A F T

The binary logical operators act on two operands and could either be true or false. The truth table for and is as follows A T T F F The truth table for or is as follows A T T F F B T F T F A or B T T T F B T F T F A and B T F F F

Truth tables can also be used to demonstrate the truth of equivalent logical statements. For example in order to demonstrate
follows. B we can develop a truth table as

A T T F F

B T F T F

T F F F

F T T T

F F T T

F T F T

F T T T

Note that columns four and seven are the same, showing the equivalence of the logical expressions.
