Some of you know that Christian is studying C# programming. He has finished his first tutorials and is moving on to a book called Beginning C# Game Programming. In the past, I have talked about boolean algebra with him. Ever since he heard the term, he has wanted to know about it. Well, last night, he wrote the following as a blog comment:
In my programming, I am starting to run into things like And, For, Or, and Xor. Can you explain these please, dad?
AND, OR, and XOR are logic operation used extensively in computer programming and generally taught as a topic in boolean algebra. So I guess now is the time that we should start learning about these operations. They are really very powerful for lots of different reasons so this should be lots of fun.
Kelly, please tell us about your poem.
If all goes well I will be back in Albany tonight!
I think I meant “For” to be “Not”
I was wondering about that.
