== Rename page? ==
 
This page only deals with the two-valued boolean algebra.
 
This leaves out some important history and the full scope of what the word "Boolean" means. http://sumon3get.hubpages.com/hub/Basic-Concept-And-History-Of-Boolean-Algebra
 
Remedies might include:
 
1. A new page title that somehow incorporates the phrase "two valued".
 
2. A new Rosetta code task which treats some other subset of boolean values. For example, here's a table the boolean operation which corresponds to "logical and" on the integers 0 through 3:
 
<lang J> *. table i. 4
┌──┬───────┐
│*.│0 1 2 3│
├──┼───────┤
│0 │0 0 0 0│
│1 │0 1 2 3│
│2 │0 2 2 6│
│3 │0 3 6 3│
└──┴───────┘</lang>
 
(this operation is "least common multiple",).
 
And here's the boolean operation which corresponds to "logical or" (greatest common divisor) on these integers:
 
+. table i. 4
┌──┬───────┐
│+.│0 1 2 3│
├──┼───────┤
│0 │0 1 2 3│
│1 │1 1 1 1│
│2 │2 1 2 1│
│3 │3 1 1 3│
└──┴───────┘</lang>
 
Note also that "logical not" is not a boolean operation in and of itself. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 13:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
