Two-valued logic

(Commonly known as "Boolean algebra") A mathematical system concerning the two truth values, TRUE and FALSE and the functions AND, OR, NOT. Two-valued logic is one of the cornerstones of logic and is also fundamental in the design of digital electronics and programming languages. The term "Boolean" is used here with its common meaning - two-valued, though strictly Boolean algebra is more general than this. Boolean functions are usually represented by truth tables where "0" represents "false" and "1" represents "true".
