3. George Boole More than 150 years ago, there was a mathematician named George Boole, who took statements and wrote them in a precise format, such that a statement is always true or false. He founded a branch of mathematics called Boolean Algebra. Statements that are either true or false are called Boolean statements. The conditions you used with selection and repetition back in Chapter 5 were all Boolean statements. There is a boolean datatype named after George Boole.

5. What is a Boolean Statement? The sentence, statement, condition, whatever, must be true or false. No questions, no ambiguities, no arguments. The basis of processing data is the binary system of on and off, or 1 and 0, which certainly sounds a bunch like true or false. Each of the following five statements is a Boolean statement: A mile is longer than a kilometer. July and August both have the same number of days. A pound of feathers is lighter than a pound of lead. The Moon is larger than the Sun. New York City has more people than Baltimore.

JulDays == AugDays True A pound of feathers is lighter than a pound of lead. PoundF < PoundL False The Moon is larger than the Sun. MoonSize > SunSize False New York City has more people than Baltimore. NYPop > BaltPop True Boolean Statement Examples

7. Sentences are not always so short and straight forward. Frequently there are multiple conditions in one statement. Special rules need to be followed to determine if the entire statement is true or false. Consider the following sentences with compound conditions: She is a computer science teacher and she is a math teacher. The number is odd or the number is even. Enter again if gender is not male or gender is not female. Employment requires a CPA and five years experience. The same sentences converted into Boolean statements are: (She == CSTeacher) and (She == MathTeacher) (Number % 2 == 1) or (Number % 2 == 0) (Gender != ‘M’) or (Gender != ‘F’) (CPA == ‘Y’) and (YrExp >= 5)

9. Logical OR Example Consider two young ladies who have a rather simplistic, and quite politically incorrect, view of judging potential dates. The first is Kathy who will date a guy if he is Good Looking OR drives a Nice Car. This chart shows her 4 possible cases: Good Looking?Nice Car?Date Material?

17. Venn Diagram #1 The Boolean Algebra logical and ( * ) can be demonstrated with Venn Diagrams, using intersection. A intersect B also A and B also A * B also AB

18. Venn Diagram #2 The Boolean Algebra logical or ( + ) can be demonstrated with Venn Diagrams, using union. A union B also A or B also A + B

19. Venn Diagram #3 The Boolean Algebra logical not ( ~ ) not A also ~A This is the opposite of A.

20. Venn Diagram #4 The Boolean Algebra logical not ( ~ ) not B also ~B This is the opposite of B.

21. Venn Diagram #5 not (A and B) ~(A * B) This is the opposite of (A and B).

22. Venn Diagram #6 not (A or B) ~(A + B) This is the opposite of (A or B).

23. Venn Diagram #7 not A and not B ~A * ~B This is identical to not(A or B).

24. Venn Diagram #8 not A or not B ~A + ~B This is identical to not(A and B).

25. DeMorgan’s Law not(A and B) = not A or not B not(A or B) = not A and not B

26. Tricky Venn Diagrams A and not (B) A or not(B) A * ~B A + ~B Step 1 – Shade A AB

27. Tricky Venn Diagrams A and not (B) A or not(B) A * ~B A + ~B Step 2 – Shade ~B a different way

28. Tricky Venn Diagram A and not (B) A * ~B Answer: The part that is shaded twice.

29. Tricky Venn Diagram A or not (B) A + ~B Answer: Everything that is shaded.

53. In the previous program many if…else statements were used to simulate multi-way selection. These statements are necessary because the switch statement has 2 limitations: a. switch does not work with ranges b. switch only works with ordinal data types An ordinal data type is one where every value has a definite next value and a definite previous value. int and char are ordinal data types. double and String are NOT. Why didn’t you use switch ?
