minus-square@Thoth19link1•10 months agoI mean it is the definition of “if and only if”. And by commutativity we also know that A iff B is equal to B iff A
minus-squareRhynoplazlink2•10 months agoOh yeah. I was very confused as to what that meant, but I learned something today.
minus-square@Thoth19link1•10 months agoYeah if vs iff can be confusing at first. Trying to understand it with normal grammar doesn’t work right. It’s a lot more helpful to grok the symbols and so the truth tables by hand to see how they fit together
