two-valued logic - (Commonly known as "Boolean algebra") A mathematical system concerning the two truth values, TRUE and FALSE and the functions AND, OR, NOT. Two-valued logic is one of the cornerstones of logic and is also fundamental in the design of digital electronics and programming languages. The term "Boolean" is used here with its common meaning - two-valued, though strictly Boolean algebra is more general than this. Sound familiar Mr Boolean?

Find help fast. You're sinking like a rock and nobody is willing to come to your aid.

Why?

Because you're wrong! LOL

I am not sinking at all. The introduction of nulls in 1968 fundamentally changed boolean logic forever. The introduction of a value that is neither true nor false but in fact represents missing data required a new approach to boolean algebra.

So, you got your information in 1967?

If so, I am trying to descrbe an MP3 player to someone whose understanding peaks at an 8-track player.

You had to really work to Google that up, didn't you?

You are right, in that a description of Mathematics says "Mathematics deals with the operators PLUS, MINUS, TIMES, DIVIDED BY" (which are of course arethmetic).

If you haven't studied 3VL Boolean then you are banging stones together.

But I guess I owe you an apology. You kinda know OLD Boolean Logic (how well I don't know -- you have yet to define XOR, a basic Boolenan 2VL operator).

Quaint and of limited application in today's world. But someday I am sure the nimble-minded who keep on top of things will finally get out in front of me.

So, don't feel too bad. I will be where you are someday.

And one last thing for when you are shaking off your hangover in the morning.

Do you retract your "sucking at the teat" remark? If not, then you must describe how my opinions somehow disqualify the value of my work (now THERE is a golden piece of "the Internet is forever").

I'll let you just say you were in a bad mood and lashed out. I have done so in the past.

If not, I will use it against you IN ITS ENTIRETY (not redacted as you are wont to do).
