Logical negation is an operation on one logical value, typically the value of a proposition, that produces a value of true when its operand is false and a value of false when its operand is true.
The truth table of \(\operatorname{NOT}~ p,\) also written \(\lnot p,\!\) appears below:
\(p\!\) | \(\lnot p\!\) |
\(\operatorname{F}\) | \(\operatorname{T}\) |
\(\operatorname{T}\) | \(\operatorname{F}\) |
The negation of a proposition \(p\!\) may be found notated in various ways in various contexts of application, often merely for typographical convenience. Among these variants are the following:
\(\text{Notation}\!\) | \(\text{Vocalization}\!\) |
\(\bar{p}\!\) | \(p\!\) bar |
\(\tilde{p}\!\) | \(p\!\) tilde |
\(p'\!\) | \(p\!\) prime \(p\!\) complement |
\(!p\!\) | bang \(p\!\) |
