STOP+THINK.
How many rows in the truth table for this expression?

VW!XY || !VWZ || VWYZ || VW!XYZ

Count the variables: V, W, X, Y, and Z - five total.
Therefore we need 25=32 rows.

Motivation

you want to build a number displaying machine

Tutorial

Prep

  • y = f(x)
  • CSS classes
  • another page element property (classname)
  • JavaScript "switch" 

We have set up a shell with some HTML, CSS, and JS. Here's what happened behind the scenes:

Create 10 buttons in the <div> each of which sends a single digit to a function called "display(x)"

Create a <div> ("division") element to contain our button pad

Add <br /> ("line break") tags to create "line breaks" so we see three buttons per line

Create a table in HTML with 5 rows and 3 columns that we can use for the seven segment display.

Give the seven table cells that will be part of the 7 segment display the ids A through G.

Give the table cells A, G, and D the class "horizontal" and cells B, C, E, F the class "vertical" so that we can use CSS to style them

Instructions 1

Create the classes vertical and horizontal in CSS

.vertical {
           width: 20;
           height: 60;
           background-color: red;
}

.horizontal

{
           width: 60;
           height: 20;
           background-color: red;
}

Statement: sentence that can be true or false

Logical expression: combination of logical variables and operators

LOGIC 101

My name is Dan.

My name is Dan.

value = TRUE

value = FALSE

A = it is sunny out

A?

A = it is sunny out

A?

A is a logical variable. A name that stands for a statement or condition that can be true or false.

A LOGICAL VARIABLE CAN TAKE ON ONE OF TWO LOGICAL VALUES

TRUE

FALSE

1

0

LOGICAL VARIABLES can be combined

with LOGICAL OPERATORS

such as AND, OR, and NOT

to form LOGICAL EXPRESSIONS

which also can only be TRUE or FALSE

LOGICAL EXPRESSIONS

for example

A = "my name is Dan."

B = "I am in Toronto."

C = "I am a dog."

D = A and B
E = A and C
F = A or B
G = not C
H = B and not C
I = not A or not C

TRUE

TRUE

TRUE

TRUE

TRUE

FALSE

LOGICAL OPERATORS

  • "Binary" Operators (connecting two values)
    • AND
    • OR
  • "Unary" Operator (works on just one value)
    • NOT

Alternative Notations

A and B also written   AB,   A∧B,   A·B

A or B also written   A+B,   A∨B

not A also written   ~A,   !A,   ¬A,   Ā

Definitions I

W is true if both A, B are true

W is true when A is false, false when A is true

W = A or B

W = A and B

W is true if either or both A,B truee

W = not A

Boolean Algebra: the "math" of logic

  • akin to multiplication
  • AB, A∧B, A·B
  • 1 or TRUE is identity
    • X AND TRUE = X
    • X·1=X for any X

Only two "numbers": 0 and 1

Three "operations":

AND

  • akin to addition
  • A+B, A∨B
  • 0 or FALSE is identity element
    • X or FALSE = X
    • X+0=X
  • akin to negation
  • ~A, !A, ¬A, Ā
  • not 0 = 1, not 1 = 0

OR

NOT

Boolean Algebra: the "math" of logic

AND takes precendence over OR

AB + C

means "A and B ... or C"

not "A and ... B or C"

but use parentheses to say otherwise

A(B + C)

means "A and ... B or C"

Boolean Algebra: the "math" of logic

AND "distributes" over OR

A(B + C) = AB + AC

Boolean Algebra: the "math" of logic

common vars can be "factored out: of ORs

AB + AC = A(B + C)

Boolean Algebra: the "math" of logic

Since 1/0 are exhaustive

A + !A = TRUE

Since 1/0 are mutually exclusive

A · !A = FALSE

Boolean Algebra: the "math" of logic

Summary so far

A + !A = TRUE

A · !A = FALSE

AB + AC = A(B + C)

A(B + C) = AB + AC

X·1 = X for any X

X+0 = X for any X

TRUTH TABLES

A logical expression is DEFINED by its truth table which shows its value for every possible combination of inputs

TRUTH TABLES

A truth table is simply a listing of all possible combinations for an expression along with the value of the expression for each combination.

Suppose an expression includes three variables A, B, and C.

A can be true or false

B can be true or false

C can be true or false

B can be true or false

C can be true or false

C can be true or false

C can be true or false

W=ABCD+ABC!D+AB!CD+A!BCD+!ABCD

Simpler means fewer terms and fewer operators.

e.g.

P=ABCD + ABC!D + AB!C + A!B

P=ABC(D+!D) + AB!C + A!B 

P=ABC(TRUE) + AB!C + A!B 

P=ABC + AB!C + A!B 

P=AB(C+!C) + A!B 

P=AB + A!B 

P=A(B+!B)

P=A

AB + A!B = A(B+!B) = A and TRUE = A

 

A may be a compound expression:

PQR + PQ!R = (PQ)(R+!R) = PQ
