Mastering Life and Decision-Making: How AND, OR, and NOT Accelerate Learning and Speed Reading

Introduction to the AND-OR-NOT Algorithm in Computer Science

In computer science, AND, OR, and NOT are fundamental logical operators used in decision-making, programming, and artificial intelligence. These Boolean logic functions form the basis of how computers process information and make decisions (Lotame, n.d.).

  • AND: Returns true only if both conditions are true. For example, in programming, if (A AND B) means the action will only occur if both A and B are true.
  • OR: Returns true if at least one condition is true. In if (A OR B), the action happens if either A or B (or both) are true.
  • NOT: Reverses the condition. If A is true, NOT A makes it false, and vice versa.

These three operators are used in everything from search engines and machine learning to automation and decision trees. While they are fundamental to computing, their principles can also be applied to personal development, coaching, and decision-making—offering a structured way to process complex choices in daily life (Domingos, 2015; Scribbr, n.d.).
