Or
From Why start at x, y, z
The word "or", when used in mathematics, usually means the the relation \(A \vee B\), with the following truth table:
\(A\) | \(B\) | \(A \vee B\) |
---|---|---|
T | T | T |
T | F | T |
F | T | T |
F | F | F |
But in English, "or" can mean a few different things, depending on context, including \(\mathrm{XOR}\). The meanings, or even validity, of "yes" and "no" in response to a question using "or" also depend on context.
