Boolean Algebra

This lesson is part of Intro to Programming · All levels

Summary

This lesson discusses Boolean algebra, the basic logic behind the program and digital circuit conditions. The three main operations are AND, OR, and NOT that work at the value true/false. Laws such as commutative, associative, and distributive facilitate the simplification of logical expression, and truth tables help verify it.

Key points

Major Boolean operations: AND, OR, and NOT
AND true if all the operands are true; OR true if one is true
NOT reversing the logic value of the operand
The truth table lists the results of all input combinations
