Boolean Formulas

Formulas consist of the operators ``&``, ``|``, ``~``, ``^``, ``->``, ``<->``,
corresponding to ``and``, ``or``, ``not``, ``xor``, ``if...then``, ``if and
only if``.  Operators can be applied to variables that consist of a leading
letter and trailing underscores and alphanumerics.  Parentheses may be used
to explicitly show order of operation.

EXAMPLES:

Create boolean formulas and combine them with
:meth:`~sage.logic.boolformula.BooleanFormula.ifthen()` method::

    sage: import sage.logic.propcalc as propcalc
    sage: f = propcalc.formula("a&((b|c)^a->c)<->b")
    sage: g = propcalc.formula("boolean<->algebra")
    sage: (f&~g).ifthen(f)
    ((a&((b|c)^a->c)<->b)&(~(boolean<->algebra)))->(a&((b|c)^a->c)<->b)

We can create a truth table from a formula::

    sage: f.truthtable()
    a      b      c      value
    False  False  False  True
    False  False  True   True
    False  True   False  False
    False  True   True   False
    True   False  False  True
    True   False  True   False
    True   True   False  True
    True   True   True   True
    sage: f.truthtable(end=3)
    a      b      c      value
    False  False  False  True
    False  False  True   True
    False  True   False  False
    sage: f.truthtable(start=4)
    a      b      c      value
    True   False  False  True
    True   False  True   False
    True   True   False  True
    True   True   True   True
    sage: propcalc.formula("a").truthtable()
    a      value
    False  False
    True   True

Now we can evaluate the formula for a given set of inputs::

    sage: f.evaluate({'a':True, 'b':False, 'c':True})
    False
    sage: f.evaluate({'a':False, 'b':False, 'c':True})
    True

And we can convert a boolean formula to conjunctive normal form::

    sage: f.convert_cnf_table()
    sage: f
    (a|~b|c)&(a|~b|~c)&(~a|b|~c)
    sage: f.convert_cnf_recur()
    sage: f
    (a|~b|c)&(a|~b|~c)&(~a|b|~c)

Or determine if an expression is satisfiable, a contradiction, or a tautology::

    sage: f = propcalc.formula("a|b")
    sage: f.is_satisfiable()
    True
    sage: f = f & ~f
    sage: f.is_satisfiable()
    False
    sage: f.is_contradiction()
    True
    sage: f = f | ~f
    sage: f.is_tautology()
    True

The equality operator compares semantic equivalence::

    sage: f = propcalc.formula("(a|b)&c")
    sage: g = propcalc.formula("c&(b|a)")
    sage: f == g
    True
    sage: g = propcalc.formula("a|b&c")
    sage: f == g
    False

It is an error to create a formula with bad syntax::

    sage: propcalc.formula("")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    SyntaxError: malformed statement
    sage: propcalc.formula("a&b~(c|(d)")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    SyntaxError: malformed statement
    sage: propcalc.formula("a&&b")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    SyntaxError: malformed statement
    sage: propcalc.formula("a&b a")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    SyntaxError: malformed statement

It is also an error to not abide by the naming conventions::

    sage: propcalc.formula("~a&9b")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    NameError: invalid variable name 9b: identifiers must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumerics and underscores

            Each row of the table corresponds to a binary number, with
            each variable associated to a column of the number, and taking on
            a true value if that column has a value of 1.  Please see the

            When sent with no start or end parameters, this is an
            exponential time function requiring `O(2^n)` time, where

        A boolean to be determined as follows:

        - ``True`` if bit ``c`` of ``x`` is 1.

        - ``False`` if bit c of x is not 1.

        EXAMPLES:

        This example illustrates the use of :meth:`get_bit`::

            sage: import sage.logic.propcalc as propcalc
            sage: s = propcalc.formula("a&b")
            sage: s.get_bit(2, 1)
            True
            sage: s.get_bit(8, 0)
            False

        It is not an error to have a bit out of range::

            sage: s.get_bit(64, 7)
            False

        Nor is it an error to use a negative number::

            sage: s.get_bit(-1, 3)
            False
            sage: s.get_bit(64, -1)
            True
            sage: s.get_bit(64, -2)
            False

        .. NOTE::

            The 0 bit is the low order bit.  Errors should be handled
            gracefully by a return of ``False``, and negative numbers ``x``
            always return ``False`` while a negative ``c`` will index from the
            high order bit.
