The logical implication and the material conditional are both associated with an operation on two logical values, typically the values of two propositions, that produces a value of false if and only if the first operand is true and the second operand is false.
The truth table associated with the material conditional if p then q (symbolized as p → q) and the logical implication p implies q (symbolized as p ⇒ q) is as follows:
p | q | p ⇒ q |
---|---|---|
F | F | T |
F | T | T |
T | F | F |
T | T | T |
