Ten Basic Rules of Boolean Algebra

 

  1. Anything ANDed with a 0 is equal to 0. A * 0 = 0
  2. Anything ANDed with a 1 is equal to itself. A * 1 = A
  3. Anything ORed with a 0 is equal to itself. A + 0 = A
  4. Anything ORed with a 1 is equal to 1. A + 1 = 1
  5. Anything ANDed with itself is equal to itself. A * A = A
  6. Anything ORed with itself is equal to itself. A + A = A
