I am trying to translate this into propositional symbols but (for me) it's so complicated. Can someone help me figure this out.
"If it rains then I will carry a sharp object and I will start laughing while everyone catches their breath; otherwise I will not play outside and pretend to be invisible."
Thanks in advance. Sorry for the newbie question.
It is all done with sentences and connectives: A sentence is usually denoted by Capital letters like $A,B$, etc., the connectives are or:=$ \lor$; and:=$\land$, and if-then:= $ \rightarrow$, and negation connective is $\lnot$ so that, e.g., If I go, then I will see a movie is transcribed as : say $A$ is " If I go" , and $B$ is , "I will see a movie" is represented as $ A\rightarrow B$. Then you can use additional connectives to make longer sentences. Does that help?
