🧠 Quick Study Guide: Boolean Logic Basics
- 💡 Boolean logic is a way computers make decisions using only two values: TRUE or FALSE. Think of it like a light switch that's either ON or OFF!
- ✅ These TRUE/FALSE values help computers understand conditions and choose what to do next.
- 🔗 The three main Boolean operators (words that connect ideas) you'll learn are AND, OR, and NOT.
- ➕ The AND operator means BOTH conditions must be TRUE for the entire statement to be TRUE. If even one is FALSE, the whole thing is FALSE.
- 🤝 The OR operator means AT LEAST ONE condition must be TRUE for the entire statement to be TRUE. It only becomes FALSE if *both* conditions are FALSE.
- ❌ The NOT operator simply reverses the value. If something is TRUE, NOT makes it FALSE. If something is FALSE, NOT makes it TRUE.
- 🤔 Remember, computers use this logic for everything from searching the internet to playing games!

- When only the second part is TRUE
- When both parts are TRUE
- When at least one part is TRUE
4. When is an 'OR' statement considered TRUE?
- When both parts are FALSE
- When only the first part is TRUE
- When both parts are TRUE
- When at least one part is TRUE (or both)
5. Which Boolean operator means "the opposite of" or "reverses the truth value"?
- AND
- OR
- NOT
- IF
6. Imagine "It is sunny outside" is TRUE and "I am wearing a hat" is TRUE. Is the statement "It is sunny outside AND I am wearing a hat" TRUE or FALSE?
