Operator Precedence in Boolean Expressions
Understanding the order of operations in Boolean logic
In Boolean algebra, operator precedence defines the order in which operations are evaluated. Just like in arithmetic where multiplication comes before addition, Boolean logic has its own rules.
Precedence Order (Highest to Lowest):
- Parentheses (override all other precedence rules)
- NOT (negation)
- AND (conjunction)
- OR (disjunction)

Expression:
NOT A AND B
Real-World Application:
Think of a security system: 'NOT logged in AND admin access requested' would deny access if you're not logged in and trying to access admin features.
Truth Table:
| A | B | NOT A | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
