Then they're defined as following:
0 AND 0 = 0
1 AND 0 = 0
0 AND 1 = 0
1 AND 1 = 1
0 OR 0 = 0
1 OR 0 = 1
0 OR 1 = 1
1 OR 1 = 1

Boolean Algebra is a branch of mathematics and computer science that deals with logic and binary values. It was developed by mathematician George Boole in the mid-19th century and is used to represent and manipulate logical statements and operations.
The basic operations in Boolean Algebra are AND, OR, and NOT. These operations are represented by logical operators, such as ∧ (AND), ∨ (OR), and ¬ (NOT). They are used to combine logical statements and produce a result based on the truth values of the inputs.
Boolean Algebra is used in computer science to design and analyze digital circuits and logic gates. It is also used in programming languages to control the flow of execution and to evaluate conditions in conditional statements and loops.
Unlike traditional algebra, Boolean Algebra deals with two-valued logic (0 and 1) instead of numerical values. It also uses a different set of rules and symbols for its operations. Additionally, the order of operations is different in Boolean Algebra, with NOT having the highest precedence, followed by AND, and then OR.
Boolean Algebra has many applications in computer science, such as designing digital circuits, programming, and database querying. It is also used in fields like electronics, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence for its ability to represent and manipulate logical statements and operations.
