3. Construct a statements
TOPIC: Statements and Simple statements and Compound Statements
A STATEMENT – a statement is a
declarative sentence that is either
true or false, but not both true and
false.
For example= I love banana
because they have no bones, it is a
statement because it is true that
banana have no bones, and I do
like bananas, but I like bananas
because they are tasty and
healthy, not because they have no
bones. I would thus say something
false if I said “I like bananas
because they have no bones.”
That’s why “I like bananas because
they have no bones” is a
statement. It is the kind of
sentence that is either true or false
– in this case false.
Conjunction Statement: The
compound statement of conjunction
uses the connective 'AND' for
connecting two simple statements. For
this compound statement both the
statements must be true for the
compound statement to be true. The
two simple statements P and Q can be
connected using 'And' connective and
the compound statement can be
written as P ^ Q. For a conjunction
