Boolean Logic is a form of algebra that uses true or false values, typically represented as 1 and 0. It is named after the mathematician George Boole, who developed this system in the mid-19th century. Boolean logic is fundamental in computer science, as it helps in making decisions based on conditions. The basic operations include AND, OR, and NOT, which combine or modify these true/false values to produce new results. In practical applications, Boolean Logic is used in programming, search engines, and digital circuit design. For example, in a search engine, using "AND" between keywords narrows results, while "OR" broadens them. This logical framework allows computers to process complex conditions efficiently.
