Document Summary
A function is something that takes inputs and produces outputs. 4: functions will have a single output, can have any number of inputs, for some functions with more than one input, order matters (subtraction). Truth functions: truth functions are functions that take truth values as inputs, and produce truth vales as outputs, there are two truth values: False (f: every atomic statement is either true or false, the statement operators that form compound statements (conjunction, negation, etc. ) symbolize truth functions. I left you my house and i left you my car. (h c) F: whether a conjunction is true or false has nothing to do with what the conjuncts are about. I left you my house and i left you my car. The operators also symbolize truth functions that determine whether the compound statement is t or f as a function of the truth value(s) of the components(s)
