What are the three basic Boolean operators?
The three basic Boolean operators are AND, OR, and NOT.

What does the Boolean operator "OR" do?
The Boolean operator "OR" returns TRUE if at least one of the conditions is TRUE. It only returns FALSE if both conditions are FALSE.
Explain the difference between the AND and OR operators.
The AND operator returns TRUE only if both conditions are TRUE. The OR operator returns TRUE if at least one condition is TRUE. In other words, AND requires all conditions to be true, while OR requires only one to be true.
What is a truth table? Give an example for the AND operator.
A truth table is a table used to show all possible combinations of input values and their corresponding output for a given Boolean expression. For the AND operator, the truth table looks like this:
| A | B | A AND B |
|---|---|---|
| TRUE | TRUE | TRUE |
| TRUE | FALSE | FALSE |
| FALSE | TRUE | FALSE |
| FALSE | FALSE | FALSE |
What is the result of the Boolean expression "A OR NOT A"?
The result of "A OR NOT A" is always TRUE. This is because one of the two parts (A or NOT A) must always be TRUE.
What is the purpose of using Boolean logic in computer science?
Boolean logic is used in computer science to make decisions based on conditions. It is the foundation of control flow in programs, allowing the computer to perform specific actions based on the truth of certain conditions.
What does the Boolean expression "A XOR B" mean, and when is it true?
"A XOR B" (exclusive OR) means that the result is TRUE only when A and B are different. If both A and B are the same (both TRUE or both FALSE), the result is FALSE.
Explain how the NOT operator works with a Boolean value.
The NOT operator inverts a Boolean value. If the value is TRUE, it becomes FALSE, and if the value is FALSE, it becomes TRUE. It is used to reverse the truth value of a statement.
What is De Morgan's Law in Boolean logic?
De Morgan's Law provides two rules for simplifying expressions with NOT, AND, and OR. The laws are:
- NOT (A AND B) = (NOT A) OR (NOT B)
- NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B)
How can Boolean logic be applied to programming, and why is it important?
Boolean logic is applied in programming to control decision-making, such as in if statements, loops, and conditions. It is important because it allows programmers to create logical paths in their code, helping the program respond to different inputs and scenarios.
