Logical NAND

☞ This page belongs to resource collections on Logic and Inquiry.

The logical NAND is an operation on two logical values, typically the values of two propositions, that produces a value of false if and only if both of its operands are true. In other words, it produces a value of true if and only if at least one of its operands is false.

The truth table of $p~\operatorname {NAND} ~q,$ also written $p{\stackrel {\circ }{\curlywedge }}q\!$ or $p\barwedge q,\!$ appears below:
