implies
<logic> (=> or a thin right arrow) A binary Boolean function and logical
connective. A => B is true unless A is true and B is false. The truth table is
A B | A => B
----+-------
F F | T
F T | T
T F | F
T T | T
It is surprising at first that A => B is always true if A is false, but if
X => Y then we would expect that (X & Z) => Y for
any Z.
