A Boolean variable is a variable from Boolean algebra having one of only two values.
Algebra is a very broad topic covering all sorts of things, including Boolean algebra. Boolean algebra in itself is the study of a variable called "Boolean." This variable can only take two values: true and false. See 'related links' for more information.
Most likely it is called BOOLEAN ALGEBRA I.
A literal is either a variable or a negated variable.
Boolean algebra differs in a major way from ordinary algebra in that boolean constants and variable are allowed to have only two possible values 0 or 1. A Boolean variable is a quantity that may at different times be equal to either 0 or 1. Boolean algebra is used to express the effects that various digital circuits have on logic inputs, and to manipulate logic variable for the purpose of determination of the best method for performing a given circuit function. Because of possibility of only two variables boolean algebra is relatively easy to work with as compared to ordinary algebra. It have only 3 basic operations: 1. Logical Addition- OR 2. Logical Multiplication- AND 3. Logical Complimentation- NOT
Boolean algebra.
The prototypical Boolean algebra; i.e. the Boolean algebra defined over the Boolean domain, has two elements in it: 0 and 1. For more information about Boolean algebra, please refer to the related link below.
