PROBLEM SOLVING AND

PROGRAM DESIGN
TRUTH TABLES
LESSON OBJECTIVES
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
STUDENTS SHOULD:
• UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF TRUTH TABLES AND HOW THEY ARE USED TO
REPRESENT THE LOGIC FUNCTION OF THE COMPUTER.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
• EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF A TRUTH TABLE
• STATE THE THREE LOGICAL OPERATORS
• CREATE TRUTH TABLES BASED ON AND , OR AND NOT OPERATORS
WHAT IS A TRUTH TABLE

• TRUTH TABLES SUMMARIZE AND HELP TO EVALUATE TWO LOGICAL


CONDITIONS BASED ON AND, OR, and NOT.

• A TRUTH TABLE THEREFORE SHOWS THE OUTPUT STATES FOR EVERY


POSSIBLE COMBINATION OF INPUT STATE. THE SYMBOLS 0 (FALSE) AND 1
(TRUE) ARE USUALLY USED IN TRUTH TABLES.

• BOOLEAN CONDITION IS A STATEMENT THAT RESULTS IN A TRUE OR


FALSE AFTER A COMPARISON
RELATIONAL OPERATORS & TRUTH TABLES
• THE RELATIONAL OPERATORS ARE USED FOR COMPARISON OF THE VALUE
OF ONE ELEMENT WITH ANOTHER.
• THERE ARE SIX TYPES OF RELATIONAL OPERATIONS: EQUAL, GREATER
THAN, LESS THAN, GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO, LESS THAN OR EQUAL
TO, AND NOT EQUAL TO.
• EACH OF THESE OPERATIONS CAN BE USED TO COMPARE THE VALUES OF
THE VARIABLES. THE RESULT OF EACH OF THESE OPERATORS IS EITHER
TRUE OR FALSE.
• WHEN USING THESE OPERATORS, MAKE SURE ALL THE ARGUMENTS ARE
THE SAME DATA TYPE. INTEGERS SHOULD BE COMPARED WITH INTEGERS,
STRINGS WITH STRINGS, AND SO ON. TABLE 1 REVIEWS EACH OF THESE
OPERATORS.
TABLE 1 RELATIONAL OPERATORS

Operator
Symbol Description
Name

Equal = Returns true if both sides are equal.


Returns true if the variable on the left is greater than
Greater than >
the variable on the right.

Returns true if the variable on the left is less than the


Less than <
variable on the right.

Returns true if the variable on the left is greater than


Greater than or equal to >=
or equal to the value of the variable on the right.

Returns true if the variable on the left is less than or


Less than or equal to <=
equal to the value of the variable on the right.
Not equal to <> Returns true if both sides are not equal.
LOGICAL OPERATORS

AND YIELDS TRUE ONLY IF BOTH VALUES ARE TRUE:


• TRUE AND FALSE = FALSE
• TRUE AND TRUE = TRUE
• FALSE AND TRUE = FALSE
• FALSE AND FALSE = FALSE
LOGICAL OPERATORS
LOGICAL OPERATORS

OR YIELDS TRUE IF AT LEAST ONE VALUE IS TRUE:

• TRUE OR TRUE = TRUE


• TRUE OR FALSE = TRUE
• FALSE OR TRUE = TRUE
• FALSE OR FALSE = FALSE
LOGICAL OPERATORS
LOGICAL OPERATORS
NOT YIELDS THE REVERSE BOOLEAN VALUE I.E. TRUE BECOMES
FALSE AND FALSE BECOMES TRUE.
ACTIVITY
CONSIDER: A = 9, B = 11, C = 15, D = 12 AND EVALUATE THE BOOLEAN EXPRESSIONS
1. A=B
2. A>B
3. C < > 14
4. D<A
5. D<>B
6. C>A
7. (A < C) AND (B < D)
8. (A>B) OR (A < 5)
9. (D>A) AND (NOT(C > D))
10. (A>B) OR ((A+B) < (A *B))
