===NOT===
===NOT===
NOT is a function which is not the equivalent of an algebraic function. It is represented by an apostrophe (A') or an overbar (<math>\bar A</math>). NOT reverses the value of any variable: if A = 0, A' = 1, and if A = 1, A' = 0.
NOT is a function which is not the equivalent of an algebraic function. It is represented by an apostrophe (A') or an overbar (<math>\bar A</math>). NOT reverses the value of any variable: if A = 0, A' = 1, and if A = 1, A' = 0.
NOT can be combined with AND and NOT for interesting results. A•A' (A AND NOT A) always equals 0 (false), since no matter the value of A, one of the two values is always 0. Similarly, A+A' (A OR NOT A) always equals 1 (true), since no matter the value of A, one of the two values is always 1.
===Order of Operations===
===Order of Operations===
The [[order of operations]] for boolean algebra is the same as that for traditional algebra, except that there are fewer functions for boolean algebra: parenthesis are evaluated first, followed by multiplication then addition. Bars over multiple variables are treated at the same level as parenthesis.
