	Logical conjunction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, logical conjunction (usual symbol and) is a logical operator that results in true if both of the operands are true.
		In logic and technical fields that use it, conjunction, or and, is a logical operator in logical calculi, and a rule of inference in deductive systems.
		Logically, the sentence "it's raining, but the sun is shining" is equivalent to "it's raining, and the sun is shining", so logically, "but" is equivalent to "and".

	Logical connective - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In formal logic, logical connectives, also known as logical connectors and sometimes logical constants, serve to connect statements into more complicated compound statements.
		Logical operators are implemented as logic gates in digital circuits.
		The "logical equivalence" of "NAND alone", "NOR alone", and "NOT and AND" is similar to Turing equivalence.

		Logically sentence "it's raining but the sun is is equivalent to "it's raining and the is shining" so logically "but" is equivalent "and".

	Logical Operators and Short-circuit Control Forms
		For modular types, the predefined logical operators are defined on a bit-by-bit basis, using the binary representation of the value of the operands to yield a binary representation for the result, where zero represents False and one represents True.
		The logical operators on arrays are performed on a component-by-component basis on matching components (as for equality -- see 4.5.2), using the predefined logical operator for the component type.
		For the logical operators on arrays, a check is made that for each component of the left operand there is a matching component of the right operand, and vice versa.

		In logic, the treatment of the word or requires a little care (for a native English speaker; some other languages have greater precision).
		The xor operation is sometimes used as a simple mixing function in cryptography, for example, with one-time pad or Feistel network systems.
		In digital logic design, a two-input xor logic gate is often thought of as a programmable inverter, in that if one input is held at a logic '1', the output will be the inverse of the other input.

	Logical Conjunction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In logic and technical fields that use it, conjunction, or and, is a logical operator in logical calculi.
		Conjunction as we've described it is a binary operator, meaning that it combines two terms into a single statement.
		The analogue of conjunction for a (possibly infinite) familiy of statements is universal quantification, which is part of predicate logic.

	System and method for text searching using an n-ary search tree - Patent 5412807
		The PHRASE logical operator is similar to the AND logical operator except that it relates to sequences of multiple word terms which must appear in the specified sequence and must occur one word term apart.
		The logic unit constructs an n-ary Boolean search tree with a root node representing the results of a text search where terminal nodes contain word terms representing the various user-selected portions and the non-terminal nodes contain logical operator terms representing the user-specified conditions that interrelate the word terms.
		Logical operator terms, which are contained in non-terminal nodes, interrelate the word terms contained in the terminal nodes that are adjacent to the non-terminal nodes.

		Logical operators are generally derived from Boolean algebra, which is a mathematical way of manipulating the truth values of concepts in an abstract way without bothering about what the concepts actually mean.
		As with other image arithmetic operations, it is also possible to logically combine a single input image with a constant logical value, in which case each pixel in the input image is compared to the same constant in order to produce the corresponding output pixel.
		Logical operations can also be carried out on images with integer pixel values.

		(the negation operator) or ++ (the increment operator).
		Operators on the same line have equal precedence, in which case their associativity decides which order to evaluate them in.
		The table also omits the precedence (and associativity) of the "execution operator" - but since that's a sort of quoting, I don't think it meaningfully has a precedence or associativity - they explain what is to happen where there's an open-endedness in the sense of missing brackets, and the quoting is a sort of bracket.

	DB Optim TPC-D Model: l
		For each logical operator, we show a diagram of the operator's inputs and parameters, an example use of an operator, a description of how the logical properties of the output are computed and the values of the output's logical properties for the given example.
		This calculation is based on the logical properties of the input(s) and the logical operator itself.
		When there is only one input, and the operator does not affect a logical property, the notation, "same" indicates that the value of the logical property for the input is copied to this logical property for the output.

	PHP: Logical Operators - Manual
		Utilizing the bitwise operators in a logical context could violates the expectations of the reader and may create confusion because bitwise operators imply bit-field operands.
		I also feel that assuming that short-circuit evaluation is best for logical constructs IS within the compiler's "rights", since when logical operators are used for their intended purpose, the assumptions that short-circuiting makes ARE logical, and do (once again, when used correctly) optimize evaluation of logical expressions.
		If a non-bitwise operation returns null (in other words, the value being assigned turns out to be null or 0), the bitwise operator would bind to that (or more appropriately, would "see" it) as a "0", otherwise it would see a non-zero (string of bits with at least one "1" in it).

		In logical calculus, logical operatorsor logical connectors serve to connect statements into more complicated compound statements.
		So for example, P ∨ Q ∧ ¬ R → S is shortfor (P ∨ (Q ∧ (¬ R)) → S. Note that the logical equivalence of certain compoundstatements entails that not all of these operators are necessary for a full-blooded logical calculus.
		For example, ¬ P ∨ Qis logically equivalent to P → Q; since logical equivalence means that equivalent terms may be subsituted for each other inan expression, it's not necessary to have a conditional operator.

	Propositional Logic [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		In propositional logic, the simplest statements are considered as indivisible units, and hence, propositional logic does not study those logical properties and relations that depend upon parts of statements that are not themselves statements on their own, such as the subject and predicate of a statement.
		However, there are other forms of propositional logic in which other truth-values are considered, or in which there is consideration of connectives that are used to produce statements whose truth-values depend not simply on the truth-values of the parts, but additional things such as their necessity, possibility or relatedness to one another.
		A logical operator is said to be truth-functional if the truth-values (the truth or falsity, etc.) of the statements it is used to construct always depend entirely on the truth or falsity of the statements from which they are constructed.

		In complicated logical expressions, normally in terms of other logic functions such as AND and OR, writing these in terms of NAND allows for cheaper construction.
		There is another logical operator which is able to express all the others: NOR.
