A Venn diagram is a widely used diagram style that shows the logical relation between sets, popularized by John Venn (1834–1923) in the 1880s. The diagrams are used to teach elementary set theory, and to illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.
Venn diagram of . In logic, mathematics and linguistics, and is the truth-functional operator of conjunction or logical conjunction.The logical connective of this operator is typically represented as [1] or & or (prefix) or or [2] in which is the most modern and widely used.
Venn diagram of . Exclusive or, exclusive disjunction, exclusive alternation, logical non-equivalence, or logical inequality is a logical operator whose negation is the logical biconditional. With two inputs, XOR is true if and only if the inputs differ (one is true, one is false).
The three Venn diagrams in the figure below represent respectively conjunction x ∧ y, disjunction x ∨ y, and complement ¬x. Figure 2. Venn diagrams for conjunction, disjunction, and complement. For conjunction, the region inside both circles is shaded to indicate that x ∧ y is 1 when both variables are 1.
Notice the analogy to the union, difference, and intersection of two sets: in this respect, all the formulas given above are apparent from the Venn diagram reported at the beginning of the article. In terms of a communication channel in which the output Y {\displaystyle Y} is a noisy version of the input X {\displaystyle X} , these relations ...
In formal languages, truth functions are represented by unambiguous symbols.This allows logical statements to not be understood in an ambiguous way. These symbols are called logical connectives, logical operators, propositional operators, or, in classical logic, truth-functional connectives.
Venn diagram of = . The symmetric difference is equivalent to the union of both relative complements, that is: [1] = (), The symmetric difference can also be expressed using the XOR operation ⊕ on the predicates describing the two sets in set-builder notation:
Venn diagram of In logic , disjunction , also known as logical disjunction or logical or or logical addition or inclusive disjunction , is a logical connective typically notated as ∨ {\displaystyle \lor } and read aloud as "or".
