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^z (truth table 0xf00f0ff0, canonical 0x0ff0f00f)


A minimal Boolean formula using AND, OR, and XOR requires 2 operators. One such formula is:

¬x ^ ¬y ^ z




A minimal Boolean formula using AND and OR requires 9 operators. One such formula is:

(z & ((x & y) | (¬x & ¬y))) | (¬z & (¬x | ¬y) & (x | y))
