Logical operator:
Logical operators are used to validate an expression and return the Boolean values as “true” or “false”. Some of the logical operators are as follows:
- Logical “and” operator
- Logical “or” operator
- The “not” operator
Logical “and” Operator:
Logical operator combines the results of one or more conditions.
- The logical “and” is used to evaluate two expressions in order to obtain a single relational result.
- It returns the Boolean value “True”, when both the operands are true, otherwise it returns “False”.
- The first operand is evaluated first and all the side effects are completed before evaluating the logical “and” expression.
- The second operand is evaluated only if the first operand is “True”.
Syntax for “and” operator:
The syntax for “and” operator is given below:
expression1 and expression2
Logical “or” Operator:
Logical operator combines the results of one or more conditions.
- The logical “or” is used to evaluate two expressions in order to obtain a single relational result.
- It returns the Boolean value “True” when one of the operands is “True”. It returns “false” only if both the operands are “false”.
- The first operand is evaluated and all the effects are completed before it continues to evaluate the logical “or” expression.
- The second operand is evaluated only if the first operands return “false”.
Syntax for “or” operator:
The syntax for “or” operator is given below:
expression1 or expression2
Logical “not” Operator:
The logical “not” operator is the unary operator that takes an operand and reverse its logical value.
Syntax for “not” operator:
!expression1

- 2. A truth table shows, for the various true or false values of boolean variables, what the result ofa boolean condition is. Fill in the following truth table. Assume that a, b and c are booleanvariables.a b c a && (!b || c)false false falsefalse false truefalse true falsefalse true truetrue false falsetrue false truetrue true falsetrue true truearrow_forwardComplete the following table by writing statements with combined assignment operators in the right-hand column. The statements should be equivalent to the statements in the left-hand column.arrow_forwardIdentify if the argument is VALID or INVALID by analyzing the truth table test below:arrow_forward

- 3. Suppose 'p' denotes the statement "you were 90 on your last birthday" and 'q' denotes the statement "you are over 21": If you are over 21, then you were 90 on your last birthday. The statement is. * Inverse Contradiction Contrapositive Converse None of the abovearrow_forwardARGUMENT SEVEN Valid ☐ Invalid ☐ No J is B All B is K ∴ No K is J Convert the following argument into symbolic form and then determine whether it is a valid argument by using the Venn Diagram method (include the Venn Diagrams below). ARGUMENT EIGHT Valid ☐ Invalid ☐ No students in COSA 2 who showed up to class finished the reading. A few of them finished the training at home though. It stands to reason that some of the students who showed up to class did not finish the training. Write the argument in Symbolic Form: No M are R Some M are T Some M are not T Venn Diagrams: ARGUMENT NINE Valid ☐ ï Invalid ☐ Anything that is true is a statement and Professor Rosillo makes statements. So, all statements Professor Rosillo makes are true. Write the argument in Symbolic Form: Venn Diagrams:arrow_forwardWithout using any other library functions or operators, show how the meaning of the following pattern matching definition for logical conjunction "&&" can be expressed using conditional (if/else) expressions: True && True = True _ && _ = False Hint: use two nested conditional expressions.arrow_forward
