What is the result of the Boolean expression True AND False?
True
False
Error
None
The AND operator returns True only when both operands are True. Since one operand is False, the entire expression evaluates to False.
What is the result of the Boolean expression NOT True?
False
True
None
Error
The NOT operator inverts the truth value of its operand. Since True becomes False when negated, the result is False.
Which operator represents a logical OR in many programming languages?
&&
||
not
and
In many programming languages like C, C++, and Java, the logical OR operator is represented by '||'. It returns True if at least one of its operands is True.
In an if statement, what happens when the condition evaluates to False?
The code block executes.
The code block is skipped.
An error occurs.
The condition is re-evaluated.
An if statement executes its code block only when the condition is True. If the condition is False, the code block is not executed.
What is the result of the Boolean expression (True OR False) AND False?
True
False
Error
None
First, the OR operation returns True because at least one operand is True. Then, True AND False evaluates to False since both operands must be True for an AND operation.
Which Boolean operator returns True only if both operands are True?
AND
OR
NOT
XOR
The AND operator requires both operands to be True to yield a True result. This distinguishes it from other operators like OR or XOR which have different conditions for yielding True.
Which of the following is the correct syntax for a basic if statement in many programming languages (using a common pseudo-code form)?
if (condition) { statements }
if condition then statements
if [condition] do: statements
if {condition} statements
Many programming languages like Java, C, and C++ use the syntax with parentheses around the condition and curly braces to enclose the statements. This is a standard format for writing if statements in these languages.
In a Boolean expression using short-circuit evaluation, when is the second operand evaluated in an AND operation?
Always evaluated
Only evaluated if the first operand is True
Only evaluated if the first operand is False
Never evaluated
Short-circuit evaluation means that if the first operand in an AND operation is False, the overall result will be False, so the second operand is not evaluated. This can help optimize performance and avoid unnecessary computations.
What does the Boolean expression not (True and False) evaluate to?
True
False
None
Error
Within the parentheses, True AND False evaluates to False. Applying the NOT operator then inverts False to True.
Which expression is equivalent to NOT (A OR B) according to De Morgan's law?
NOT A OR NOT B
NOT A AND NOT B
A AND B
A OR B
De Morgan's law states that the negation of a disjunction is equivalent to the conjunction of the negations. Thus, NOT (A OR B) is equal to (NOT A) AND (NOT B).
In an if-else construct, what keyword introduces the alternative code block when the condition is false?
else
elseif
ifnot
default
The 'else' keyword provides an alternative code block that executes if the initial if condition evaluates to False. It is commonly used to handle alternative scenarios in control flow.
For the Boolean expression (A AND B) OR C, which operator is evaluated first?
AND
OR
Both with equal precedence
It depends on the language
In many programming languages, the AND operator has higher precedence than the OR operator. This means that A AND B is evaluated before the OR with C.
In the condition 'if (x > 0 AND x < 10)', what is the role of the AND operator?
It checks if either condition is true.
It ensures both conditions must be true.
It reverses the condition.
It terminates the if statement.
The AND operator requires that both conditions (x > 0 and x < 10) are true for the overall expression to evaluate as true. This is useful for checking if a value falls within a specific range.
Evaluate the Boolean expression: True OR False AND False in languages with standard operator precedence.
True
False
Error
None
According to operator precedence, the AND operation is executed before the OR. Thus, False AND False evaluates to False and then True OR False results in True.
What does the expression not (False OR False) AND True evaluate to?
True
False
None
Error
First, the OR operation yields False as both operands are False. The NOT operator then converts False to True, and finally, True AND True gives True.
Which Boolean expression is logically equivalent to A OR (A AND B) using Boolean algebra identities?
A
A AND B
B
A OR B
The absorption law in Boolean algebra states that A OR (A AND B) simplifies to A. This eliminates any redundant terms, streamlining the expression.
What is the correct negation of the implication 'if A then B'?
if A then NOT B
A AND NOT B
NOT A OR B
NOT (A AND B)
The negation of an implication 'if A then B' is expressed as A AND NOT B, which represents the case where A is true but B is false. This is the condition under which the original implication fails.
Evaluate the compound condition: if ((NOT X) OR Y) AND (X OR NOT Y) is True, what is the value when X is True and Y is True?
True
False
Error
Undefined
Substituting X = True and Y = True, the first part becomes (NOT True OR True) which evaluates to (False OR True) or True, and the second part (True OR NOT True) also evaluates to True. The AND of True and True results in True.
How does operator precedence affect the evaluation of the expression: NOT A AND B OR C in many programming languages?
The expression is evaluated as (NOT A) AND (B OR C)
The expression is evaluated as ((NOT A) AND B) OR C
The expression is evaluated as (NOT (A AND B)) OR C
The expression is evaluated as NOT (A AND (B OR C))
In most programming languages, the NOT operator has the highest precedence followed by AND, and then OR. Therefore, the expression is parsed as ((NOT A) AND B) OR C.
Simplify the Boolean expression using De Morgan's law: NOT (A AND NOT B).
NOT A OR B
NOT A AND B
A OR NOT B
A AND B
By applying De Morgan's law, NOT (A AND NOT B) simplifies to (NOT A) OR B. This transformation is a fundamental technique for simplifying Boolean expressions.

Boolean Expressions & If Statements Cheat Sheet

  1. Boolean Basics - All Boolean expressions boil down to True or False, the glue that binds decision-making in code. Imagine flipping a switch: if it's on, you run one path; if off, another. LaunchCode: Boolean Expressions
  2. Relational Operators - These symbols (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=) let you compare values like a detective weighing clues. Mastering them lets you ask precise questions in your code and filter out unwanted data. LaunchCode: Relational Operators
  3. Logical Operators - Amp up your expressions with && (AND), || (OR), and ! (NOT) to combine or flip conditions. They're the secret sauce for crafting complex decision trees without losing your mind. IsaDeh: Logical Ops in Java
  4. If Statements - The classic "if" statement runs a block when its condition is True and skips it otherwise. Think of it as a fork in the road: take action only when the map matches your criteria. TeachCSNYC: If Statements
  5. If-Else Statements - When you need a Plan B, if-else swoops in to handle the alternative scenario. It's like choosing between pizza and burgers: if you crave one, go for it; else, enjoy the other! TeachCSNYC: If-Else Statements
  6. Else If Chains - Stuck at multiple crossroads? Chain else if to check several conditions in sequence and guide your code down the right path. It's a choose-your-own-adventure for logic flows. TeachCSNYC: Else If Chains
  7. Nested Ifs - Dive deeper by placing if statements inside one another to handle complex decision trees. Just be careful not to get lost in the maze - indentation is your best friend! TeachCSNYC: Nested Ifs
  8. Truth Tables - Visualize all possible input combos and their output results in a neat table. It's your cheat sheet for predicting logical outcomes before writing a single line of code. National Academy: Boolean Logic
  9. De Morgan's Laws - Simplify combos like !(A && B) to !A || !B (and vice versa) to make your code cleaner and easier to read. These transformations are like magic spells for logical expressions. Fiveable: De Morgan's Laws
  10. Common Pitfalls - Watch out for using a single = (assignment) instead of == (comparison) and other sneaky traps. A quick double-check can save you hours of head-scratching. LaunchCode: Common Pitfalls
