ICA-CO: 4/16/08 - Boolean Algebra

Good morning!

Today, we are learning about boolean algebra, which is also known as predicate calculus. Hardware in your computers (including cell phones and ipods) all work on binary encoding. Boolean algebra is a way to manipulate binary statements to create logical decision points. In Java, we use boolean algebra for "if" statements. If you ever take a logic class in college, you will use "predicate calculus" for making logic decisions in philosophy.

New assignment: Add a menu to your Myers-Briggs to give users the choice of displaying name only, Myers-Briggs only, or both. Use boolean algebra to implement the menu.
