A good way to test reasoning is by truth tables.
It is way to test the validity of propositions. (Indicated by P and Q)
Propositions are statements that can be proven true of false, by it's truth value (indicated by the T or F).
Ex. September has 31 days

  • Since it can be proven by fact, on a calendar, that September has 30 days instead of 30, this statement is a proposition.


There are different symbols that describe different things:

  • Conjunction "and" ^- rule: if they are both the true, then the truth value is true; if one is false
  • Disjunction  "or" v- rule: If one of the two proposition are true, then it is true
