Nand

Jump to navigation Jump to search

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 ~ of the And function , and so its glyph is composed from those. However, fonts vary in how they compose them; some overlaying the glyphs (∧̴), and some stacking them (∧̃).
