This topic is much related to the previous one I created which is the
[LEARN] LOGIC GATES and chance to earn merit. if you understand the logic gates its easier for you to understand the concept of the truth table with logical connectives.
IMPLICATION(→) - the value will only become false, if X is true and Y is false.
BI-CONDITIONAL(⇔) - The value will only become true if they are both true or both false.
P | | | Q | | | P | ⇔ | Q | T | | | T | | | T | F | | | T | | | F | T | | | F | | | F | F | | | F | | | T |

NOT/NEGATION(¬)Where you reverse the value of the given statement.
OR(V) either if there's a value of true the answer becomes true.
AND(∧) either if there's a value of false the answer becomes false. The only possible becomes true if X and Y are true.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Let's try to solve this with the combination of both logical connectives.
(P → ¬Q) ∧ (P V Q)
P | | | Q | | | ¬Q | | | P | → | ¬Q | | | P | V | Q | | | (P | → | ¬Q) | ∧ | (P | V | Q) | T | | | T | | | F | | | F | | | T | | | F | T | | | F | | | T | | | T | | | T | | | T | F | | | T | | | F | | | T | | | T | | | T | F | | | T | | | F | | | T | | | T | | | T | F | | | T | | | F | | | T | | | T | | | T |

Here we go again for another challenge hoping that other members would really like to solve this kind of problem. Of course there's also a merited reward but only one per member who got the correct answer to become not abuse only
5 sMerit will be distributed.
(¬P ∧ ¬Q) → (P V Q)
P | | | Q | | | ¬P | | | ¬Q | | | ¬P | ∧ | ¬Q | | | P | V | Q | | | (¬P | ∧ | ¬Q) | → | (P | V | Q) | T | | | F | | | T | | | T | | | T | | | T | | | F | | | F | | | F | | | T | | |
