Welcome to the next video. In
the Boolean series. In this
-
video we will look at some
more examples of relatively
-
simple trick tables.
-
Now let's look at an
example, which is a slightly
-
bit more difficult, not.
-
P or Q.
-
And are so in this case now I
have got three different inputs
-
because I have got three
different letters, so the number
-
of rows in my throught table
which is calculated by two to
-
the N. In this case an the
number of inputs is 3, therefore
-
this will be two to three, which
is 8. So I have got P.
-
I have got Q and I have caught
R and the input combination half
-
of eight is 4, so I'm going to
copy four trues an I'm going to
-
copy for forces.
-
Then I'm just going to copy
two truths, two forces
-
until I finish filling the
table, and then in the last
-
column I'm just going to do
them, alternating 1 by 1.
-
Now, in this case you can see
that I have got every different
-
combinations and I'm not
repeating any one of them, so
-
this is the starting of the
setup of the table. Now what are
-
the intermediate steps before we
can actually find the final
-
answer for the output? Now there
is a bracket and within the
-
bracket I have got P or QP or Q
will have to be one. I need to
-
calculate. But then there is
a node operation in front, so
-
I going to have to apply that
to the output of P or Q and
-
then at the end I'm going to
have to use.
-
The end operation to combine
everything together so P or Q,
-
I'm going to use this table. Now
what do I know about the OR
-
the OR only returns force if
both of the inputs are force? So
-
I'm going to run through the
table and find the only inputs
-
when both of them are force.
-
And the rest of them I can just
quickly fill in.
-
By truth, I could have gone
through two or two, gives me
-
through three or two, gives me
through, etc. But this one is a
-
nice and easy shortcut to
-
remember. What does the note do?
-
Change three to force and change
forced to true so the top half
-
up to here is true. So every one
of them will be force.
-
And the bottom two forces which
get then will turn into truth.
-
And then I have to do the final
combination of not P or Q&R. So
-
which are the two that I need to
combine together? Here I need to
-
use this input.
-
And I need to use the R.
-
And what do I know about the end
and is only true if both of them
-
are true? So I'm going to go
through the Roseanne. I'm going
-
to filter out. Do I have double
trues in here? I have one in
-
here. And I haven't got it
anywhere else, so the rest of
-
them will have to be filled in
with forces becausw.
-
And it's only true if both of
the inputs are true. In any
-
other cases, the end will be
force, so knowing this shortcuts
-
can save you quite some time on
filling in the tables.
-
And now let's look at the last
example for this video.
-
P. If only if.
-
Q and not R. So this is
a similar example to the
-
previous one because PQ&R I've
again have got three different
-
inputs, so P.
-
Q.
-
R.
-
Due to the power three gives
me 8, so it's to start the
-
through table of correctly.
I'm going to have to place
-
than four truth four forces.
-
Two truth 246.
-
And then just alternating
them 1 by 1.
-
Right set up starting, setup,
done correctly. Then what do I
-
need to look at? I need to look
at my priorities.
-
There is a bracket here and
inside the bracket that is Q and
-
not R to be able to combine
together Q and not our first I
-
need to know what the values are
for not R so that's what I need
-
to calculate first. Once I've
got the values for not RI can
-
calculate Q and not R.
-
And once that's done, I can
combine P together with the Q
-
and not R using the if and
only if operation.
-
Let's get started. R is
here, So what is not R every
-
true becomes false an every
force becomes true.
-
So now which are the two columns
that I need to combine together
-
to find Q and not RI need Q?
-
And I need not R.
-
So and operation the end only
returns true if both of the
-
inputs are true. So I'm going to
try to filter those ones out.
-
And the rest of them I'm going
to fill in with force. Now, if
-
you are not using lined paper,
then you want to be very careful
-
about making sure that you
lining these trees and force
-
values relatively easy to see,
because if you are getting a
-
little bit wonky then you might
take a force for the upper or
-
lower row instead of the road
that it belongs to. So be
-
careful with that. Now I've got
Q and not R.
-
But what I need here now is the
if and only if table.
-
Remember if and only if it's
true. If the two input values
-
are exactly the same and it's
false if the input values are
-
different. So which columns am
I going to use here? But I
-
need to use P.
-
And I need to use the Q and not
R, which we just calculated
-
here. So if they are the same,
I'm going to return true. If
-
they are the different, I'm
going to return force. So look
-
at this through force different.
So I'm returning a force true
-
through the same. I'm returning
a true true enforce different.
-
I'm returning a horse through
unforced, different returning or
-
force force and force the same.
-
I'm returning a tree 4th century
different. I'm returning a
-
force. Force and force the
same. I'm returning a true and
-
force on force the same.
Again, I'm returning the true.
-
I hope you are gaining
confidence in finding solutions
-
to trig tables now in the next
couple of videos we will look at
-
some more difficult examples.
However, now it's your turn to
-
do some practice questions. The
answers are at the end.
-
So these are the practice
questions.
-
And here are the answers.
