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.
C
void print_logic(int a, int b) { printf("a and b is %d\n", a && b); printf("a or b is %d\n", a || b); printf("not a is %d\n", !a); }
C plus plus
void print_logic(bool a, bool b) { std::cout << std::boolalpha; // so that bools are written as "true" and "false" std::cout << "a and b is " << (a && b) << "\n"; std::cout << "a or b is " << (a || b) << "\n"; std::cout << "not a is " << (!a) << "\n"; }
Fortran
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 END
Java
... public static void logic(boolean a, boolean b){ System.out.println("a AND b: " + a && b); System.out.println("a OR b: " + a || b); System.out.println("NOT a: " + !a); }
Additionally, ^ is used for XOR and == is used for "equal to" (a.k.a. bidirectional implication).
