Thread: Boolean question - Jumping into C++ C4. IF Statments Q3 (spoiler)

Hi all

Firstly thanks for any advice, i have tried a number of searches but i am not getting anything relevant. I have also taken a look at truth tables and can break the expression down to evaluate each component correctly. The following question, ask us to evaluate the following

!( true && ! (false || true ))

The bit i am stuck with is very simple and i feel somewhat foolish even asking its how do i treat the part "&& !" is this a logical nand although that does no feel right because the AND is before the NOT?

the ! applies to the parenthetical phrase following it. so it effectively becomes !(true && (!(false || true)))

Thanks Elkvis, i did take it that way and indeed it works out correctly but i felt uneasy about my understanding of the expression and the trouble with boolean is you have a 50 50 chance of getting it correct which really unsettled me.

std10093 i have not turned it into code in truth i got a little bit fixated with it, and went off on a tangent, but i think i will take a look at that now..

Thank you std10093,

I have to say i am really enjoying the book, and thanks for the quick responses, i can now move on
