What is Boolean algebra?
Previously, we learned how the computer can represent data. Now, we have to find out how it processes it. To understand that, we must first dive into a corner of mathematics that is called Boolean algebra.
George Boole, who lived between 1815 and 1864, was a self-taught English mathematician and the inventor of Boolean logic, which is the basis of how all our computers work. Boolean logic, sometimes referred to as Boolean algebra, is a form of mathematics that works with only two values: true and false. It also defines three operations that we can perform on these two values: AND, OR, and NOT.
NOT: It’s the simplest of these operations because all it does is switch the value, so something that is not true ...
