 Boolean logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boolean logic is a complete system for logical operations.
Boolean logic is also used for circuit design in electrical engineering; here 0 and 1 may represent the two different states of one bit in a digital circuit, typically high and low voltage.
Circuits are described by expressions containing variables, and two such expressions are equal for all values of the variables if, and only if, the corresponding circuits have the same input-output behavior.

 Element-by-element Boolean Operators - Untitled
The truth of the boolean expression is computed by combining the truth values of the corresponding elements of the component expressions.
Like comparison operations, each element of an element-by-element boolean expression also has a numeric value (1 if true, 0 if false) that comes into play if the result of the boolean expression is stored in a variable, or used in arithmetic.
This behavior is necessary for the boolean operators to work as described for matrix-valued operands.
