Nand

Nand (⍲) is a dyadic scalar boolean function which tests if either argument is not true: it returns 0 if both are 1 and 1 if at least one is 0. It represents the Sheffer stroke or alternative denial in Boolean logic. Nand is the boolean negation <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>~</source> of the And function <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>∧</source>, and so its glyph is composed from those. However, fonts vary in how they compose them; some overlaying the glyphs (∧̴), and some stacking them (∧̃).

<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍲</source>	<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source>	<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source>
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source>	<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source>	<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source>
<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source>	<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>1</source>	<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>0</source>

Examples

The following shows all possible combinations of inputs as a Boolean function.

     0 0 1 1 ⍲ 0 1 0 1

1 1 1 0 </source>
