Comments

In propositional logic, the conjunction of two formulas Phi and Psi, written Phi & Psi, is true if both Phi and Psi are true, otherwise it is false. The truth table of conjunction is therefore as follows:

   Phi    Psi	     Phi & Psi
    1	    1	   	 1
    1       0	  	 0
    0	    1	   	 0
    0	    0	   	 0
