Task

Write a function that takes two logical (boolean) values, and outputs the result of "and" and "or" on both arguments as well as "not" on the first arguments.

If the programming language doesn't provide a separate type for logical values, use the type most commonly used for that purpose.

If the language supports additional logical operations on booleans such as XOR, list them as well.

F logic(a, b)
   print(‘a and b: ’(a & b))
   print(‘a or b: ’(a | b))
   print(‘not a: ’(!a))

360 Assembly

Assembler 360 offers a full set of opcodes for logical operations: or, and, xor (exclusive or). The "not" can be done by inversing the branching: BNE (Branch Not Equal) instead of BE (Branch Equal). An othe way to perform a not is to use a xor with the true value (X'FF').

6502 Assembly

There are no built-in boolean types; however, supporting the concept in software is trivial. Typically, the zero flag or the carry flag can act as a boolean, with zero being false and nonzero being true.

LDA myBoolean
BNE isTrue
;code that would execute if myBoolean is false, goes here.
RTS
isTrue:
;code that would execute if myBoolean is true, goes here.
RTS

Branches Based On Equality to Zero

A logical AND can easily be implemented as a nested if. Here, we'll be executing the following pseudocode. For this example, all variables are one byte in size.

if(myValue == 3 && myOtherValue == 5){
myResult = true;
}
LDA myValue
CMP #3
BNE .skip

;if we got to here, "myValue == 3" evaluated to true.

LDA myOtherValue
CMP #5
BNE .skip

;if we got to here, both "myValue == 3" and "myOtherValue" == 5 evaluated to true.

STA myResult         ;any nonzero value is considered TRUE, so we've stored 5 into myResult.

.skip:

A logical OR is somewhat similar.

if(myValue == 3 || myOtherValue == 5){
myResult = true;
}
LDA myValue
CMP #3
BEQ .doTheThing

;if not equal, check myOtherValue

LDA myOtherValue
CMP #5
BNE .skip

;if we got to here, either "myValue == 3" or "myOtherValue" == 5 evaluated to true.

.doTheThing:
STA myResult         ;any nonzero value is considered TRUE, so we've stored 5 into myResult.

.skip:

Logical NOT is the easiest of all; just use the opposite branch condition.

Using Bit Shifts

Chances are, however, on an 8-bit computer like the 6502, rather than using an entire byte to represent a single variable, you're going to store up to 8 related booleans in a single byte. Variables such as these are often called "bit flags" and is very common for parameters that are passed to/from external hardware, such as joysticks, video display processors, or sound cards. Each bit typically represents a different yet related variable. For example, reading a one-button joystick returns 5 bits, one for the "fire button" and the 4 directions.

Side note: For joysticks, it's actually more common for 0 to represent pressed and 1 to represent not pressed, but that's out of the scope of this task.

For testing multiple bits, a simple BNE or BEQ won't cut it, as this doesn't tell you WHICH bits are 0 or 1, only that a 1 exists/doesn't exist somewhere in the byte (which, if you need that info specifically, can be a nice shortcut.) In this example, we'll be testing the bottom 2 bits of the 8-bit variable "Flags", and we want to test if both bits are 1.

LDA flags
LSR        ;test the rightmost bit.
BCC .skip
LSR        ;test the bit just to the left of the one we tested prior.
BCC .skip

;your code for what happens when both of the bottom 2 bits are 1, goes here.

.skip:

Using BIT

If we're testing the top 2 bits of a byte (usually referred to as bit 7 or 6) then there's a special method we can use. The BIT instruction sets the N flag to bit 7 of the tested byte, and the V flag to bit 6 of the tested byte.

BIT myBitFlags
BMI .Bit7Set
BVS .Bit6Set

For this reason, it's a good strategy when designing a bit flags variable to put the bits you'll be testing the most in bit 7 or 6 so that you spend less time checking them.

Ada

I have also included logical xor because it is defined for Ada boolean types. All the operators below work equally well on arrays of boolean types. In fact, a packed array of boolean is an array of bits, providing a direct link between logical and bitwise operations.

procedure Print_Logic(A : Boolean; B : Boolean) is
begin
   Put_Line("A and B is " & Boolean'Image(A and B));
   Put_Line("A or B  is " & Boolean'Image(A or B));
   Put_Line("A xor B is " & Boolean'Image(A xor B));
   Put_Line("not A   is " & Boolean'Image(not A));
end Print_Logic;

APL

APL represents Boolean values using 1 and 0. This function takes Boolean arguments before it and after it—which may be arrays of Booleans—and returns an array consisting of arg1 AND arg2, arg1 OR arg2, NOT arg1, arg1 NAND arg2, arg1 NOR arg2, and arg1 XOR arg2, in that order.

Commodore BASIC

In Commodore BASIC the "logical" operators are actually bitwise operators; to enable the proper semantics when they're used for logic, true expressions return -1 (all bits set) and false expressions return 0 (all bits clear).

10 A = -1
20 B = 0
30 PRINT A AND B
40 PRINT A OR B
50 PRINT (A AND (NOT B)) OR ((NOT A) AND B)
60 PRINT NOT A
Output:
0
-1
-1
0

Commodore BASIC version 7 for the C-128 added XOR, but it's a function, and for some reason was written to accept only unsigned (16-bit) numbers.

70 PRINT XOR(1, 0)
Output:

FreeBASIC

In addition to And, Or and Not FreeBASIC supports several other logical operators:

  • XOr - Exclusive Or : true if both operands are different, false if they're the same
  • Eqv - Equivalence  : true if both operands are the same, false if they're different
  • Imp - Implication  : true unless the first operand is true and the second operand is false when it is false


There are also 'short-circuiting' operators:

  • AndAlso - Same as AND but the second operand is only evaluated if the first is true
  • OrElse - Same as OR but the second operand is only evaluated if the first is false


The following program illustrates the use of these operators:

' FB 1.05.0 Win64

Sub logicalDemo(b1 As Boolean, b2 As Boolean)
  Print "b1             = "; b1
  Print "b2             = "; b2

bc

POSIX bc has neither Boolean values nor built-in logical operations. Thus one has to write them oneself:

/* The following three functions assume 0 is false and 1 is true */

/* And */
define a(x, y) {
    return(x * y)
}

/* Or */
define o(x, y) {
    return(x + y - x * y)
}

/* Not */
define n(x) {
    return(1 - x)
}

define f(a, b) {
    "a and b: "
    a(a, b)
    "a or b: "
    o(a, b)
    "not a: "
    n(a)
}
Works with: GNU bc

GNU bc's extensions make this task much easier:

define logic_test(a, b) {
    print "a and b: ", a && b, "\n"
    print "a or b: ", a || b, "\n"
    print "not a: ", !a, "\n"
}

Binary Lambda Calculus

Minimal definitions of the logical operations in lambda calculus are: and = \a\b.a b a, or = \a\b.a a b, not = \b\x\y.b y x. In BLC these are 00 00 01 01 110 10 110, or = 00 00 01 01 110 110 10, not = 00 00 00 01 01 1110 10 110 respectively.

BQN

BQN has four logical operators: AND (`∧`), OR (`∨`), NOT (`¬`), XOR (`≠`). The function L lists each of those results in the same order.

   L∧∾∨∾¬∾≠
∧∾∨∾¬∾≠
   0 L 1
 0 1 0 1 

Bracmat

Bracmat has no boolean values. Instead, each expression has, apart from its value, also a S/F/I (SUCCEEDED/FAILED/IGNORE) feature, where the latter is used in the exceptional case that the success or failure of an expression should not influence the program flow.

The expression ~ is special in that it always fails. Most expressions only fail in exceptional cases, such as when a file cannot be opened. Match expressions stand apart from the rest and can be compared to expressions with comparison operations in other languages.

In the example below, the empty string represents 'true' and ~ represents 'false'. The binary operators & and |, which normally are used as the glue between expressions such as match operations, function definitions and function calls, are used as the logical operators 'and' and 'or', respectively.

( ( Logic
  =   x y
    .   '$arg:(=?x,?y)
      &   str
        $ ( "\n(x,y)="
            !arg
            ( ":\n"
              "x and y -> "
              ( (!x&!y)&true
              | false
              )
            )
            ( \n
              "x or y -> "
              ( (!x|!y)&true
              | false
              )
            )
            "\nnot x -> "
            (~!x&true|false)
          )
  )
& out$(Logic$(,))
& out$(Logic$(~,))
& out$(Logic$(,~))
& out$(Logic$(~,~))
);
Output:
(x,y)=(,):
x and y -> true
x or y -> true
not x -> false

(x,y)=(~,):
x and y -> false
x or y -> true
not x -> true

(x,y)=(,~):

Delphi

Delphi supports all logical operators shown in § Pascal. Furthermore, the exclusive or operator xor is supported:

	{ exclusive or }
	writeLn(A:5, ' xor', B:6, '  yields', A xor B:7);

Beware: In Delphi the operators and, or and xor can also refer to bitwise operations.

DWScript

var a := True;
var b := False;

Print('a = ');
PrintLn(a);
Print('b = ');
PrintLn(b);

Print('a AND b: ');
PrintLn(a AND b);

Print('a OR b: ');
PrintLn(a OR b);

Print('NOT a: ');
PrintLn(NOT a);

Print('a XOR b: ');
PrintLn(a XOR b);
Output:
a = True
b = False
a AND b: False
a OR b: True
NOT a: False
a XOR b: True

def logicalOperations(a :boolean, b :boolean) {

            "not" => !a,
            "xor" => a ^ b]
}

Each of these is a method on boolean objects; the above is precisely equivalent to:

def logicalOperations(a :boolean, b :boolean) {
    return ["and" => a.and(b),
            "or"  => a.or(b),
            "not" => a.not(),
            "xor" => a.xor(b)]
}

If the :boolean guards were removed, these operations would also work on other types, such as sets (& is union and | is intersection; not is not supported).

Elixir

Elixir also provides three boolean operators: or, and and not. These operators are strict in the sense that they expect a boolean (true or false) as their first argument:

iex(1)> true and false
false
iex(2)> false or true
true
iex(3)> not false
true

or and and are short-circuit operators. They only execute the right side if the left side is not enough to determine the result:

Besides these boolean operators, Elixir also provides ||, && and ! which accept arguments of any type. For these operators, all values except false and nil will evaluate to true:

(28)> nil || 23
23
iex(29)> [] || false
[]
iex(30)> nil && true
nil
iex(31)> 0 && 15
15
iex(32)> ! true
false
iex(33)> ! nil
true
iex(34)> ! 3.14
false

As a rule of thumb, use and, or and not when you are expecting booleans. If any of the arguments are non-boolean, use &&, || and !.

Forth

Forth can use bitwise operators if the boolean values are well formed: TRUE (-1) and FALSE (0). 0<> converts an ill-formed flag (zero/non-zero) to a well-formed flag (false/true).

: .bool ( ? -- ) if ." true" else ." false" then ;
: logic ( a b -- ) 0<> swap 0<> swap
 cr ." a = " over .bool ."   b = " dup .bool
 cr ." a and b = " 2dup and .bool
 cr ." a  or b = " over  or .bool
 cr ." not a = " 0= .bool ;

Fortran

In ANSI FORTRAN 66 or later, use LOGICAL data type:

       SUBROUTINE PRNLOG(A, B)
       LOGICAL A, B
       PRINT *, 'a and b is ', A .AND. B
       PRINT *, 'a or b is ', A .OR. B
       PRINT *, 'not a is ', .NOT. A
       
C       You did not ask, but the following logical operators are also standard
C       since ANSI FORTRAN 66 
C       =======================================================================
       
C       This yields the same results as .EQ., but has lower operator precedence
C       and only works with LOGICAL operands:
       PRINT *, 'a equivalent to b is ', A .EQV. B
       
C       This yields the same results as .NE., but has lower operator precedence
C       and only works with LOGICAL operands (this operation is also commonly
C       called "exclusive or"):
       PRINT *, 'a not equivalent to b is ', A .NEQV. B
       END

Haskell

Instead of a function and printing, which is unidiomatic for Haskell, here are the operations in the same style as in Bitwise operations:

a = False
b = True

a_and_b = a && b
a_or_b  = a || b
not_a   = not a
a_xor_b  = a /= b
a_nxor_b = a == b
a_implies_b = a <= b -- sic!

(&&) and (||) are lazy on the second argument and therefore this operations are not symmetric:

*Main > False && undefined 
False
Prelude> undefined && False 
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined
Prelude> True || undefined 
True
Prelude> undefined || True 
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined

(<=), (<), (>=) and (>) on the other hand are strict:

Prelude> False <= undefined 
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined
Prelude> undefined <= True 
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined
Prelude> True < undefined 
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined
Prelude> undefined < False 
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined

Icon and Unicon

Icon/Unicon do not have a native logical or Boolean type; nor do they use Boolean values for flow control. Instead for flow control they use the concept of success (a result is returned) or failure (a signal). For more on this see see Short Circuit Evaluation. Because there is almost no need for Boolean values the concept is somewhat alien.

One likely situation where Boolean values could be encountered is working with an external array of bits/flags. This example attempts to show a solution that would work in such a scenario. Some characteristics would include:

  • the ability to work with an entire array of bits
  • the ability to test an individual bit for true/false
  • need to be careful with automatic type conversions

Of course other characteristics and functionality might be desirable, examples include:

  • shifting (based on ishift)
  • rotation
  • conversion to a (large) integer
  • setting a specific bit in the array

Those are left as an exercise for the reader.

There are a couple of choices for implementation. Briefly:

  • use of &null and a non-null - this creates problems for negation as not &null can be any or all values
  • use of large integers as bit arrays - only signed integers are supported and this complicates preserving array length
  • use of strings - a bit wasteful of space

This implementation uses strings as packed arrays of bits. This facilitates easy reading and writing from external sources. While string length is variable it is controlled and doesn't change under negation. The built-in integer bit operations (ior, ixor, iand, ishift) can be utilized under the covers.

J

J uses 0 for logical false and 1 for logical true.

   aon=: *.`+.`(-.@[)`:0

Given boolean arguments, *. is logical and, +. is logical or, and -.is logical not.

Additional primary logical operators include *: (not-and), +: (not-or), ~: (exclusive-or) and <: (logical implication).

   a=: 0 0 1 1   NB. Work on vectors to show all possible
   b=: 0 1 0 1   NB. 2-bit combos at once.
   a aon b
0 0 0 1
0 1 1 1
1 1 0 0

An alternate approach, based on a probabilistic interpretation, uses * for logical and, -. for logical negation and derives the others: (*&.-.) for logical or, (-.@*) for not-and, (-.@*&.-.) for not-or, (* *&.-. -.@*&.-.) for exclusive or, and (*&.-. -.)~ for logical implication. You get the same results for simple truth values this way, but you also get consistent treatment for values between 0 and 1.

That said, J also supports truth valued operations on the binary representations of integers. (This is the concept of "packed binary", roughly speaking). For example 2b10001 b. is and, 2b10111 b. is or, 2b11110 b. is nand, etc. (the last four bits of the control argument to b. represent the desired binary truth table, while the prefix of that control argument in these examples specifies "packed binary"). Thus:

   (2b10001 b. table/~i.4);(2b10110 b. table/~i.4);<2b10000 b. table/~i.4

JavaScript

function logic(a,b) {
  print("a AND b: " + (a && b));
  print("a OR b: " + (a || b));
  print("NOT a: " + (!a));
}

jq

In jq, and and or have short-circuit semantics, and can be used with non-boolean arguments.

In addition to the basic logical operators, jq has any and all filters. Versions of jq since 1.4 also have extended versions of these for working efficiently with streams.

def logic(a; b):
  "\(a) and \(b) => \(a and b)",
  "\(a) or \(b)  => \(a or  b)",
  "\(a) | not    => \(a | not)",
  "if \(a) then true else false end => \(if a then true else false end)" ;

Example:

  (false, null, []) as $a
| (false, null, {}) as $b
| logic( $a; $b )
$ jq -n -r -f logical_operations.jq
false and false => false
false or false  => false
false | not    => true
if false then true else false end => false
false and null => false
false or null  => false
false | not    => true
if false then true else false end => false
false and {} => false
false or {}  => true
false | not    => true
if false then true else false end => false
null and false => false
null or false  => false
null | not    => true
if null then true else false end => false
null and null => false
null or null  => false
null | not    => true
if null then true else false end => false
null and {} => false
null or {}  => true
null | not    => true
if null then true else false end => false
[] and false => false
[] or false  => true
[] | not    => false
if [] then true else false end => true
[] and null => false
[] or null  => true
[] | not    => false
if [] then true else false end => true
[] and {} => true
[] or {}  => true
[] | not    => false
if [] then true else false end => true

Julia

using Printf

function exerciselogic(a::Bool, b::Bool)
    st = @sprintf " %5s" a
    st *= @sprintf " %5s" b
    st *= @sprintf " %5s" ~a
    st *= @sprintf " %5s" a | b
    st *= @sprintf " %5s" a & b
    st *= @sprintf " %5s" a $ b
end

println("Julia's logical operations on Bool:")
println("   a     b    not   or    and   xor")
for a in [true, false], b in [true, false]
    println(exerciselogic(a, b))
end
Output:
Julia's logical operations on Bool:
   a     b    not   or    and   xor
  true  true false  true  true false
  true false false  true false  true
 false  true  true  true false  true
 false false  true false false false

Notes

This solution shows the bitwise operators in action. There are also short-circuiting or and and (||, &&). In addition, there are updating versions of the three binary logical operators, |=, &= and $=.

}

fun main() {
    logicalDemo(true, true)

langur

The logical operators in langur compare the "truthiness" of the left and right operands and do not require Booleans. A null is a non-truthy result.

The operators and, or, nand, nor, and?, or?, nand?, nor?, xor?, and nxor? are short-circuiting.

Operators that end with ? are null propagating or "database" operators, and will return null if either operand is null. They short-circuit differently than normal operators (only if the left operand is null).

val .test = f(.a, .b) join("\n", [
    $"not \.a;: \{not .a}",
    $"\.a; and \.b;: \.a and .b;",
    $"\.a; or \.b;: \.a or .b;",
    $"\.a; nand \.b;: \.a nand .b;",
    $"\.a; nor \.b;: \.a nor .b;",
    $"\.a; xor \.b;: \.a xor .b;",
    $"\.a; nxor \.b;: \.a nxor .b;",
    "",

    $"not? \.a;: \{not? .a}",
    $"\.a; and? \.b;: \.a and? .b;",
    $"\.a; or? \.b;: \.a or? .b;",
    $"\.a; nand? \.b;: \.a nand? .b;",
    $"\.a; nor? \.b;: \.a nor? .b;",
    $"\.a; xor? \.b;: \.a xor? .b;",
    $"\.a; nxor? \.b;: \.a nxor? .b;",
    "\n",
])

Mathematica/Wolfram Language

And[a,b,...]
Or[a,b,...]
Not[a]

And can also be given using the infix operator &&, Or can also be used using the infix operator ||. Not[a] can also be written as !a. Furthermore Mathematica supports:

Xor[a, b,...]
Nand[a, b,...]
Nor[a, b,...]
Xnor[a, b,...]

Note that the functions are not restricted to 2 arguments; any number of arguments are allowed (except for the function Not). All these functions can also be used with infix operators, the characters for that are: \[Xor], \[Nand], \[Nor], and \[Xnor]. Or by typing [escape] [name boolean operator] [escape].

def logic(a, b)
	println "a and b: " + (a && b)
	println "a or b:  " + (a && b)
	println "not a:   " + !a
end

While this is translated from Python, Nanoquery does not allow any object to be treated as a boolean value. As a result, this function must be called with explicit boolean values.

Output:

PARI/GP

Note that the forms bitand(), bitor(), bitneg(), and bitxor() also exist. These apply the operator to each bit and do not short-circuit, unlike the below.

logic(a,b)={
  print(a&b); \\ && is the same
  print(a|b); \\ || is the same
  print(!a);
};

Pascal

Nine logical operators are standard. Since Boolean is a built-in enumeration data type, all relational operators except the membership operator (in) are applicable. Moreover, Delphi and Free Pascal support the exclusive operator xor.

function logicalOperations(A, B: Boolean): Boolean;
begin
	{ logical conjunction }
	writeLn(A:5, ' and', B:6, '  yields', A and B:7);
	{ logical disjunction }
	writeLn(A:5, '  or', B:6, '  yields',  A or B:7);
	{ logical negation }
	writeLn('      not', A:6, '  yields',   not A:7);
	{ logical equivalence }
	writeLn(A:5, '   =', B:6, '  yields',   A = B:7);
	{ negation of logical equivalence }
	writeLn(A:5, '  <>', B:6, '  yields',  A <> B:7);
	{ relational operators }
	writeLn(A:5, '   <', B:6, '  yields',   A < B:7);
	writeLn(A:5, '   >', B:6, '  yields',   A > B:7);
	writeLn(A:5, '  <=', B:6, '  yields',  A <= B:7);
	writeLn(A:5, '  >=', B:6, '  yields',  A >= B:7);
	{ fulfill task requirement of writing a function: }
	logicalOperations := true
end;

Furthermore, Extended Pascal (ISO standard 10206) defines two additional logical operators. The operators and_then and or_else are intended for short-circuit evaluation. However, since all actual parameters need to be evaluated prior activation of the function, it makes little sense to use/show them in the above sample code.

Perl

sub show_bool
{
        return shift() ? 'true' : 'false', "\n";
}

sub test_logic
{
        my ($a, $b) = @_;
        print "a and b is ", show_bool $a && $b;
        print "a or b is ", show_bool $a || $b;
        print "not a is ", show_bool !$a;
        print "a xor b is ", show_bool($a xor $b);
}

There are also and, or, and not operators. These are just like &&, ||, and ! (respectively) except for their precedences, which are much lower.

Phix

Library: Phix/basics

There is a builtin bool type, which is actually just an alias for integer, and a proper boolean type in builtins/ptypes.e
The operators always return 1(true) or 0(false), and treat operands of 0 as false and all other (atom) values as true.
Short-circuiting is always applied (to all "and"/"or" expressions)
Other relational operators and maths are also valid, if you wanna get clever.

function logicop(bool a, b)
    return {a, b, a and b, a or b, not a, a xor b, a==b, a!=b}
end function
 
printf(1,"  a      b     and    or      not     xor    ==     !=\n")
for a=FALSE to TRUE do  -- nb: TRUE to FALSE would need a "by -1".
    for b=FALSE to TRUE do
        printf(1,"%-5t  %-5t  %-5t  %-5t   %-5t   %-5t  %-5t  %-5t\n",logicop(a,b))
    end for
end for
Output:
  a      b     and    or      not     xor    ==     !=
false  false  false  false   true    false  true   false
false  true   false  true    true    true   false  true
true   false  false  true    false   true   false  true
true   true   true   true    false   false  true   false

Simpler version using plain integer flags:

function logiicop(integer a, b)
    return {a, b, a and b, a or b, not a, a xor b, a=b, a!=b}
end function

printf(1," a  b and or not xor == !=\n")
for a=0 to 1 do
    for b=0 to 1 do
        printf(1," %d  %d  %d  %d   %d   %d  %d  %d\n",logiicop(a,b))
    end for
end for
Output:
 a  b and or not xor == !=
 0  0  0  0   1   0  1  0
 0  1  0  1   1   1  0  1

Note: Any normal object can be treated as a Boolean in Python. Numeric objects which evaluate to any non-zero value are "True" otherwise they are false. Non-empty strings, lists, tuples and other sequences are "True" otherwise they are false. The pre-defined None object is also treated as "False." In Python 2.3 pre-defined objects named True and False were added to the language; prior to that it was a common convention to include a line: False, True = 0, 1 to use these as names. Custom classes which implement __nonzero__ or __len__ or some other special methods can be implicitly evaluated as Booleans based on those results.

Relation

program logic(x,y)
relation a, b, op, result
insert x, y, "and", x and y
insert x, y, "or", x or y
insert x, "", "not", not x
insert x, y, "xor", x xor y
print
end program

run logic(0,0)
run logic(0,1)
run logic(1,0)
run logic(1,1)

In Relation TRUE is the number 1 (or any different from 0) and FALSE 0.

REXX

The REXX language's boolean values are well formed:

  •   1   (true)
  •   0   (false)


Any other value will raise a REXX syntax error condition.

RLaB

RLaB allows for standard logic operations. and/or/not are synonymous with &&/||/!. In the case when the argument is a real number (default type of argument) the default statement in the absence of if command is is the argument non-zero. Therefore

>> x = 5
5
>> y = 0
0
>> !x
0
>> !y
1
>> x && y
0

However, if arguments to the functions are of the type integer then the functions operate bit-wise.

>> x = int(5)
5
>> y = int(0)
0
>> !x
-6
>> !y
-1
>> x && y
0

Robotic

Due to the lack of booleans, there is no way to perform logical operations in Robotic. However, bitwise operators can be used.

RPL

≪ → a b
  ≪ "a and b = " a b AND →STR +
     "a or b = " a b OR →STR +
     "not a = " a NOT →STR +
     "a xor b = " a b XOR →STR +
≫ ≫ 'LOGIC' STO

Ruby

def logic(a, b)
  print 'a and b: ', a && b, "\n"
  print 'a or b: ' , a || b, "\n"
  print 'not a: '  , !a    , "\n"
  print 'a xor b: ' , a ^ b, "\n"
end

and/or/not are synonymous with &&/||/! albeit with lower precedence.

Rust

Works with: Rust version 1.1
fn boolean_ops(a: bool, b: bool) {
    println!("{} and {} -> {}", a, b, a && b);
    println!("{} or {} -> {}", a, b, a || b);
    println!("{} xor {} -> {}", a, b, a ^ b);
    println!("not {} -> {}\n", a, !a);
}

fn main() {
    boolean_ops(true, true);
    boolean_ops(true, false);
    boolean_ops(false, true);
    boolean_ops(false, false)
}

The Boolean operators || and && are more efficient versions of | and & in that the right-hand operand is only evaluated when the left-hand operand does not already determine the result of the expression.

Scala

In vanilla Scala:

def logical(a: Boolean, b: Boolean): Unit = {
  println("and: " + (a && b))
  println("or:  " + (a || b))
  println("not: " + !a)
}

logical(true, false)

With Scalaz:

def logical(a: Boolean, b: Boolean): IO[Unit] = for {
  _ <- putStrLn("and: " ++ (a && b).shows)
  _ <- putStrLn("or:  " ++ (a || b).shows)
  _ <- putStrLn("not: " ++ (!a).shows)
} yield ()

logical(true, false).unsafePerformIO

Scheme

(define (logic a b)
  (display "a and b is ")
  (display (and a b))
  (newline)
  (display "a or b is ")
  (display (or a b))
  (newline)
  (display "not a is ")
  (display (not a))
  (newline))

Seed7

const proc: writeLogic (in boolean: a, in boolean: b) is func
  begin
    writeln("a and b is " <& a and b);
    writeln("a or b is " <& a or b);
    writeln("not a is " <& not a);
  end func;

Self

true not = false.
( true && false ) = false.
( true ^^ false ) = true. "xor"
( true || false ) = true. "or"

Sidef

func logic(a, b) {
    say ("a and b: ", a && b);
    say ("a  or b: ", a || b);
    say ("a xor b: ", a ^ b);
    say ("  not a: ", !a);
}

logic(false, true);
Output:
a and b: false
a  or b: true
a xor b: true
  not a: true

SkookumScript

SkookumScript has a Boolean class with two possible values: true or false. Conditionals such as if expect a Boolean type and no other types can be implicitly coerced to a Boolean though they can be explicitly converted. Likewise Boolean cannot be implicitly coerced to an Integer value.

This makes a closure that takes two Boolean values. Booleans can be indicated by predicate identifier names that end with a question mark ?.

!logic:
  (a? b?)
    [
    println("a and b: " a and b)
    println("a or b: "  a or b)
    println("not a: "   not a)
    println("a xor b: " a xor b)
    println("a nand b: " a nand b)
    println("a nor b: " a nor b)
    println("a not xor b: " a nxor b)
    ]

Example call:

Logical operators "&"(and) and "|" (or) are evaluating their arg (i.e. <expr1> OP <expr2> will evaluate expr2 in any situation).
There are also non-evaluating versions named "and:" and "or:", which only evaluate expr2 if the result is not already determined by expr1.

Standard ML

fun print_logic (a, b) = (
  print ("a and b is " ^ Bool.toString (a andalso b) ^ "\n");
  print ("a or b is " ^ Bool.toString (a orelse b) ^ "\n");
  print ("not a is " ^ Bool.toString (not a) ^ "\n")
)

Stata

Stata does not have a boolean type, and uses instead 0 and 1 to denote resp. false and true.

prog def bool
	args a b
	di `a'&`b'
	di `a'|`b'
	di !`a'
end

Likewise in Mata:

function bool(a,b) {
	printf("%f\n",a&b)
	printf("%f\n",a|b)
	printf("%f\n",!a)
}

Swift

func logic(a: Bool, b: Bool) {
  println("a AND b: \(a && b)");
  println("a OR b: \(a || b)");
  println("NOT a: \(!a)");
}

Additionally, ^ is used for XOR and == is used for "equal to" (a.k.a. bidirectional implication).

Tcl

proc logic {a b} {
    puts "a and b: [expr {$a && $b}]"
    puts "a or b:  [expr {$a || $b}]"
    puts "not a:   [expr {!$a}]"
}

Terraform

The Hashicorp Configuration Language ( HCL ) does not support user defined functions. It only supports AND, OR and NOT logical operations. HCL is not meant for generic programming but I don't see an use case for a logarithm function in a language meant to provision infrastructure either. So......

#Aamrun, August 15th 2022

variable "a" {
  type    = bool
  default = true
}

variable "b" {
  type    = bool
  default = false
}

output "a_and_b" {
  value = var.a && var.b
}

output "a_or_b" {
  value = var.a || var.b
}

output "not_a" {
  value = !var.a
}

Invocation and output :

$ terraform apply -var="a=true" -var="b=false" -auto-approve 

No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.

Terraform has compared your real infrastructure against your configuration and found no differences, so no changes are needed.

Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Outputs:

a_and_b = false
a_or_b = true
not_a = false

Toka

This is an adaption of the code from the Forth example. Toka provides TRUE/FALSE flags that are the same as the well-formed flags in Forth.

[ 0 <> [ ." true" ] [ ." false"] ifTrueFalse ] is .bool
[ ( a b -- )
  cr ." a = " over .bool ."   b = " dup .bool
  cr ." a and b = " 2dup and .bool
  cr ." a  or b = " over  or .bool
  cr ." not a = " 0 = .bool
] is logic

uBasic/4tH

uBasic/4tH does not have logical operators, but every non-zero value will be considered TRUE in conditional statements. However, comparison operators (like =, #, < and >) can be used in expressions and will return fully qualified booleans. Hence, simple arithmetic operators will do the trick just fine.

Proc _Boolean(4, 2)
Proc _Boolean(0, 2)
Proc _Boolean(2, 0)

End


_Boolean Param(2)
  a@ = a@ # 0                          ' Transform to true booleans
  b@ = b@ # 0

  print "A and B is "; a@ * b@         ' Multiplication will now do AND
  print "A or B is "; a@ + b@          ' Addition will now do OR
  print "not A is "; a@ = 0            ' This will invert the boolean value
  print
Return
Output:
A and B is 1
A or B is 2
not A is 0

A and B is 0
A or B is 1
not A is 1

A and B is 0
A or B is 1
not A is 0

UNIX Shell

The shell has at least two levels of logical operators. Conditional logic (if, while, && and || at the statement level) operates on commands; the commands are executed, and their exit status determines their value in a Boolean context. If they return an exit code of 0, signaling successful execution, that is considered a "true" result; if they return a nonzero exit code, signaling a failure condition, that is considered a "false" result. However, these results are not returned as a Boolean value. if command; then do something; fi will do something if the command succeeds, but there's no "true" value, only the zero exit status. So this demo uses a function that examines the exit status of the last command and prints "true" if it is 0 and "false" otherwise. The two values for the task are the commands true and false, which do nothing but exit with status 0 and 1, respectively.

Output:
true and false = false
true or false = true
not true = false

A different variety of Boolean logic is available inside arithmetic expressions, using the C convention of 0=false and nonzero=true=1:

a=1
b=0
printf '%d and %d = %d\n' "$a" "$b" "$(( a && b ))"
printf '%d or %d = %d\n' "$a" "$b" "$(( a || b ))"
printf 'not %d = %d\n' "$a" "$(( ! a ))"
Output:
1 and 0 = 0
1 or 0 = 1
not 1 = 0

Wren

Wren has a built in Bool type which has two instances true and false which are also keywords.

The Bool class overrides the ! operator which it inherits from the Object class so that !true is false and !false is true as one would expect.

Unlike some other C fanily languages, the Bool class doesn't support the operators &, |, ^ and ~ which, in Wren, only apply to bitwise operations on unsigned 32-bit integers.

However, it does support the short-circuiting && and || logical operators as well as the conditional (or ternary) operator ?: all of which behave as expected.

var f = Fn.new { |a, b|
    System.print("a      = %(a)")
    System.print("b      = %(b)")
    System.print("!a     = %(!a)")
    System.print("a && b = %(a && b)")
    System.print("a || b = %(a || b)")
    System.print()
}

var tests = [ [true, true], [true, false], [false, true], [false, false] ]
for (test in tests) f.call(test[0], test[1])
Output:
a      = true
b      = true
!a     = false
a && b = true
a || b = true

a      = true
b      = false
!a     = false
a && b = false
a || b = true

a      = false
b      = true
!a     = true
a && b = false
a || b = true

a      = false
b      = false
!a     = true
a && b = false
a || b = false

XPL0

Logical operations and bitwise operations are the same. The command word 'false' = 0 and 'true' = -1. These values are produced by comparison operations, such as A>=B. Any integer not equal to zero is considered true. Real numbers cannot be used as booleans. Symbols can be used instead: & = and, ! = or, ~ = not, | = xor. Note that not 1, which is true, is $FFFFFFFE, which is also true. Despite this, it's simple and convenient to combine logical and bitwise operations.
