  2. Double negative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative

    Two of them also use emphasis to make the meaning clearer. The last example is a popular example of a double negative that resolves to a positive. This is because the verb 'to doubt' has no intensifier which effectively resolves a sentence to a positive. Had we added an adverb thus: I never had no doubt this sentence is false.

  3. Double negation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negation

    In propositional logic, the double negation of a statement states that "it is not the case that the statement is not true". In classical logic, every statement is logically equivalent to its double negation, but this is not true in intuitionistic logic; this can be expressed by the formula A ≡ ~(~A) where the sign ≡ expresses logical equivalence and the sign ~ expresses negation.

  4. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    The syntax of JavaScript is the set of rules that define a correctly structured JavaScript program. The examples below make use of the log function of the console object present in most browsers for standard text output. The JavaScript standard library lacks an official standard text output function (with the exception of document.write).

  5. Logical connective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective

    A less trivial example of a redundancy is the classical equivalence between and . Therefore, a classical-based logical system does not need the conditional operator " → {\displaystyle \to } " if " ¬ {\displaystyle \neg } " (not) and " ∨ {\displaystyle \vee } " (or) are already in use, or may use the " → {\displaystyle \to } " only as a ...

  6. Resolution (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(logic)

    A literal is a propositional variable or the negation of a propositional variable. Two literals are said to be complements if one is the negation of the other (in the following, is taken to be the complement to ). The resulting clause contains all the literals that do not have complements. Formally:

  7. Rule of replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_replacement

    In logic, a rule of replacement [1] [2] [3] is a transformation rule that may be applied to only a particular segment of an expression.A logical system may be constructed so that it uses either axioms, rules of inference, or both as transformation rules for logical expressions in the system.

  8. Expletive (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expletive_(linguistics)

    An example is the "double-negative" in: "Nobody never lifted a finger to help her." Expletive negation is a standard usage in Old English , and in Middle English , as in this sentence, where, from a modern perspective, "not" and the negative marker "ne" seem to be not required: [ 18 ] [ 19 ]

  9. List of rules of inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rules_of_inference

    Each logic operator can be used in an assertion about variables and operations, showing a basic rule of inference. Examples: The column-14 operator (OR), shows Addition rule: when p=T (the hypothesis selects the first two lines of the table), we see (at column-14) that p∨q=T.
