andornot

I learnt a new "word" (expression) today: boolean operator
The name comes from the logic of George Boole, and generally refers to the words "and" "or" and "not" usually in an electronic search. For instance, you can use the boolean operators in a search like so:
search: dogs "not" huskies
And your search will look for dogs, excluding huskies.

Well at least I think thats how it works...

Anyway, the word "boolean" keeps running through my head...

BOOLEAN BOOLEAN BOOLEAN

Generally when I think of boolean I'm thinking of a primitive datatype that can take the value True or False.
