A boolean expression is a mathematical statement that can only have two possible values: true or false. It is often used in computer programming and logic circuits to make decisions.
Simplifying boolean expressions can help make them easier to read and understand, as well as optimize the efficiency of computer programs and logic circuits. It can also make it easier to identify any errors in the expression.
The basic operations used in boolean expressions are AND, OR, and NOT. AND represents the intersection of two conditions, OR represents the union of two conditions, and NOT represents the opposite of a condition.
To simplify a boolean expression, you can use Boolean laws and rules, such as De Morgan's laws and distributive property. These laws help to reduce the number of terms and make the expression more concise.
Yes, simplifying a boolean expression can change its value. This is because simplification may result in different combinations of true and false values for the variables in the expression, which can alter the overall output of the expression.
