[sage-support] Logical connective or

2012-12-07 Thread charmi panchal
Hello ! I would like understand how or works in sage. I tried following . var('y'); (y == 5 or y == 15) and sage displays. y y == 15 While I tried the same in mathematica and it just displays : (y == 5 or y == 15) In sage or works perfect for boolean values, true and false. But why sage

or is just the normal Python boolean operation. When you evaluate y == 5 or y == 15, the Python interpreter first checks if the first statement is true: sage: bool(y==5) False Since the first operand is false, the result of or is the second operand. sage: y == 5 or 'second operand' 'second

Short answer: I don't know. What are you trying to achieve? Long answer: I'd use the propositional calculus http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/logic/propcalc.html to compute the truth table for the statement. Then each row is a system of equations/negated equations that you can feed
