NOR Not OR. The {Boolean} function which is true if none of its inputs are true and false otherwise, the {logical complement} of {inclusive OR}. The binary (two-input) NOR function can be defined (written as an {infix} operator): A NOR B = NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B) Its {truth table} is: A | B | A NOR B --+---+--------- F | F | T F | T | F T | F | F T | T | F NOR, like {NAND}, forms a complete set of {Boolean} functions on its own since it can be used to make NOT, AND, OR and any other Boolean function: NOT A = A NOR A A OR B = NOT (A NOR B) A AND B = (NOT A) NOR (NOT B) (1995-02-06) |
