We now present a group of exercises that involve the logical operators NAND and NOR . The proposition p NAND q , is true when either p or q , or both, are false; and it is false when both p and q are true. The proposition p NOR q is true when both p and q are false, and it is false otherwise. The propositions p NAND q and p NOR q are denoted by p | q p ↓ q , respectively. (The operators |and ↓ are called the Sheffer stroke and the Peirce arrow after H. M. Sheffer and C. S. Peirce, respectively.) 71.
