operators (logic)

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

Logic operators connect or transform simple logcial proedicates or formulae. Simple examples are AND (∧), OR(∨) and NOT (¬). More complex operatrs are often constructed from others, for example logical implication, A⇒B, can be defiend as (¬A)∨B. Logic operators are often defined using a truth table, for example, A⇒B is given by:







A B A⇒B
FALSE FALSE TRUE
FALSE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE FALSE
TRUE TRUE TRUE
