A four-valued logic was established by IEEE with the standard IEEE 1364: It models signal values in digital circuits. The four values are 1, 0, Z and X. 1 and 0 stand for Boolean true and false, Z stands for high impedance or open circuit and X stands for don't care (e.g., the value has no effect).
A truth table is a mathematical table used in logic—specifically in connection with Boolean algebra, Boolean functions, and propositional calculus—which sets out the functional values of logical expressions on each of their functional arguments, that is, for each combination of values taken by their logical variables. [1]
Similarly, a binary truth function maps ordered pairs of truth values to truth values, while a ternary truth function maps ordered triples of truth values to truth values, and so on. In the unary case, there are two possible inputs, viz. T and F, and thus four possible unary truth functions: one mapping T to T and F to F, one mapping T to F and ...
A truth table is a semantic proof method used to determine the truth value of a propositional logic expression in every possible scenario. [92] By exhaustively listing the truth values of its constituent atoms, a truth table can show whether a proposition is true, false, tautological, or contradictory. [93] See § Semantic proof via truth tables.
Classical propositional logic is a truth-functional logic, [3] in that every statement has exactly one truth value which is either true or false, and every logical connective is truth functional (with a correspondent truth table), thus every compound statement is a truth function. [4]
The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [ 1 ] and the LaTeX symbol.
A truth table reveals the rows where inconsistencies occur between p = q delayed at the input and q at the output. After "breaking" the feed-back, [27] the truth table construction proceeds in the conventional manner. But afterwards, in every row the output q is compared to the now-independent input p and any inconsistencies between p and q are ...
In realizability truth values are sets of programs, which can be understood as computational evidence of validity of a formula. For example, the truth value of the statement "for every number there is a prime larger than it" is the set of all programs that take as input a number , and output a prime larger than . In category theory, truth ...
