From henceforth and here on out, and hither-in... etc...

NOT(A XOR B) SHALL BE KNOWN AS...

A NOXOR B...

Why?

'Cause it is win.

The truth table...
F = FAIL
W = WIN

A | B | O
---------
F | F | WIN
W | F | FAIL
F | W | FAIL
W | W | FAIL

Therefore... No matter how many times you fail, you win... unless you win, then you fail.

In retrospect, and in conclusion... I must say one thing: You're right Charlie Sheen... You're right.

EDIT: Now back to doing something more productive... Like this "SNES Mode 7-style application". Expect to see a demo in one of the DBP/Code Snippets forums soon.

This is how a thread in Geek Culture is supposed to end, not start.

... what you have described is just an AND function. I think you need to lay of the lascivious beverages for a little while.

You're right... W NOXOR W = WIN... Either way, Charlie Sheen is winning, thus he WINs.

[this post references my knowledge of mathematical logic, not philosophy style logic or programming style logic]
No, what he defined is the "if and only if" function. so basically "A iff B" is true if either A and B are false, or A and B are true.

This stems from "A -> B", read as "A implies B". If a statement A implies a statement B, then we know that if A is true, B must be true. The truth table for that is:

A|B|A->B
F|F|T
F|T|T
T|F|F
T|T|T

If you think about it this way, if we say "1=2 -> 3=4" or "1=2 -> 3=3", we know 1 is not equal to two, and since the first thing is false, then sure, the implication (A->B as a whole) can be true.

If A is true and B is false, then obviously B does not imply A. If both are true, again, the implication is true.

This definition is kind of confusing, but think of it this way. The implication "x=1 -> 2x=2" is obviously true. If x=4, then since x!=4, we don't know the truth of the statement 2x=2. If we didn't use the above truth table, then the implication would only be true some of the time, which isn't what we want.

A iff B is sometimes written A<->B, because what we are saying is that "A implies B and B implies A", so (A->B) and (B<-A). We can see that the truth table of that is the same as your "noxor" command:

A|B|A->B |(A->B) and (B<-A)
F|F|T____|T
F|T|T____|F
T|F|F____|F
T|T|T____|T

So that noxor thing is actually pretty useful in logic, because, for example, if A<->B and B<->C, A<->C. Plus it's obviously invertible (A<->B=B<->A, A noxor B = B noxor A)




in summation: NO CHARLIE SHEEN IS NOT WINNING.

Enough already Rhyno - please try and restrict your thread creation to relevant and interesting topics for all, and less of them - I could 5 threads from you in geek culture, that's too many, other people might have something to post.

No, we can see that you just wasted your time typing all that out because his is

A|B|R
-----
T|T|F
T|F|F
F|T|F
F|F|T

while yours is

A|B|R

but if you read his response:

I do hope that after my next drink, my missus doesn't start asking personal questions... It won't be Charlie Sheen, it'll be the missus who wins because my truth table has gone out of the window...

I'm on tomorrow...
