Thread: Converting Sentence to Boolean Expression...

Hey guys,

If I have three variables: X, Y, and Z, and I want to convert "exactly two of the three variables" into a boolean expression, would I express that as...

(X^Y^!Z) \/ (X^!Y^Z) \/ (!X^Y^Z)

...with ^ being AND, \/ being OR, and ! being NOT?

Hello, inthedl!

If I have three variables: , and I want to convert

"exactly two of the three variables" into a boolean expression,

would I express that as: .

Yes, that's correct.

The three cases are mutually exclusive, so an ordinary OR will suffice.

Thanks! I appreciate your help!
