Boolean Oracle

This web server computes a minimal Boolean formula for a given function, using the operator sets (AND, OR, XOR) and (AND, OR).

Query: x^y (truth table 0x0ff00ff0, canonical 0x00ffff00)

A minimal Boolean formula using AND, OR, and XOR requires 1 operator. One such formula is:

x ^ y

A minimal Boolean formula using AND and OR requires 3 operators. One such formula is:

(¬x | ¬y) & (x | y)
