    Study Notes

    Commutative Laws

    • States that the order of operands does not affect the result.
    • For AND operation: A ^ B = B ^ A.
    • For OR operation: A ˅ B = B ˅ A.

    Associative Laws

    • Indicates that how operands are grouped does not change the outcome.
    • For AND operation: A ^ (B ^ C) = (A ^ B) ^ C.
    • For OR operation: A ˅ (B ˅ C) = (A ˅ B) ˅ C.

    Distributive Laws

    • Demonstrates how AND and OR operations can distribute over each other.
    • For AND over OR: A ^ (B ˅ C) = (A ^ B) ˅ (A ^ C).
    • For OR over AND: A ˅ (B ^ C) = (A ˅ B) ^ (A ˅ C).

    Idempotent Laws

    • Show that applying the same operation multiple times yields no change in result.
    • For AND operation: A ^ A = A.
    • For OR operation: A ˅ A = A.

    Identity Laws

    • Define how identities for AND and OR do not alter the operand.
    • For AND operation: A ^ (A ˅ B) = A.
    • For OR operation: A ˅ (A ^ B) = A.

    Complement Laws

    • Relate an operand with its complement to produce constant results.
    • For AND operation: A ^ ¬A = F (false).
    • For OR operation: A ˅ ¬A = T (true).

    Involution Law

    • Explores the effect of double negation.
    • States that negating a negation returns the original value: ¬(¬A) = A.

    DeMorgan's Laws

    • Transforms expressions involving negations of AND and OR operations.
    • Negation of AND: ¬(A ^ B) = (¬A) ˅ (¬B).
    • Negation of OR: ¬(A ˅ B) = (¬A) ^ (¬B).
