In computer science, a Boolean expression is an expression used in programming languages that produces a Boolean value when evaluated. A Boolean value is either true or false.A Boolean expression may be composed of a combination of the Boolean constants True/False or Yes/No, Boolean-typed variables, Boolean-valued operators, and Boolean-valued functions.
A law of Boolean algebra is an identity such as x ∨ (y ∨ z) = (x ∨ y) ∨ z between two Boolean terms, where a Boolean term is defined as an expression built up from variables and the constants 0 and 1 using the operations ∧, ∨, and ¬. The concept can be extended to terms involving other Boolean operations such as ⊕, →, and ≡ ...
The Hasse diagram of the free Boolean algebra on two generators, p and q. Take p (left circle) to be "John is tall" and q (right circle)to be "Mary is rich". The atoms are the four elements in the row just above FALSE. The generators of a free Boolean algebra can represent independent propositions. Consider, for example, the propositions "John ...
In mathematics, a Boolean function is a function whose arguments and result assume values from a two-element set (usually {true, false}, {0,1} or {-1,1}). [1] [2] Alternative names are switching function, used especially in older computer science literature, [3] [4] and truth function (or logical function), used in logic.

A binary expression tree is a specific kind of a binary tree used to represent expressions. Two common types of expressions that a binary expression tree can represent are algebraic [1] and boolean. These trees can represent expressions that contain both unary and binary operators. [1]
Boolean operation or Boolean operator may refer to: Boolean function, a function whose arguments and result assume values from a two-element set Boolean operation (Boolean algebra), a logical operation in Boolean algebra (AND, OR and NOT) Boolean operator (computer programming), part of a Boolean expression in a computer programming language
Boolean domain, a set consisting of exactly two elements whose interpretations include false and true; Boolean circuit, a mathematical model for digital logical circuits. Boolean expression, an expression in a programming language that produces a Boolean value when evaluated; Boolean function, a function that determines Boolean values or operators
