翻译:Logic Variables and Logic Operations 晓惠 1994-08-05 There are only three basic logic operations: 1.The Conjunction (logical product) commonly called AND, symbolized by(·). 2.The disjunction (logical sum)commonly called OR,symbolized by (+). 3.The negation commonly called NOT,symbolized by (') or (-). These operations are performed by logic circuits ,ALL functions within a computer can be performed by combinations of these three basic logic operations. 逻辑变量与逻辑运算 布尔代数用于处理逻辑变量。一个变量要么全为真,要么全为假,部分为真或部分为假都是不允许的。若变量不为真,意味着它必定为假。相反地,若变量不为假,则其必为真。基于这个特性,布尔代数一处理具有两个状态或两个值的变量(如“是”和“否”)或具有两个值0和1的数系,是很理想的。 基本的逻辑运算有三种: 1.逻辑乘,通常叫做“与”,用符号(·)表示。 2.逻辑和,通常叫做“或”,用符号(+)表示。 3.“反”运算通常叫做“非”,用符号(')或(-)表示。 以上运算可由逻辑电路执行。在计算机上,这三种逻辑运算的组合实现可执行所有的函数功能。(晓惠)
