Truth table
A simple solution which accepts arbitrary user-input:
loop {
var expr = Sys.readln("\nBoolean expression (e.g. 'a & b'): ").strip.lc
break if expr.is_empty
var vars = expr.scan(/[[:alpha:]]+/)
if (vars.is_empty) {
say "no variables detected in your boolean expression"
next
}
var prefix = [];
var suffix = [];
vars.each { |v|
print "#{v}\t"
prefix << "[false, true].each { |#{v}|"
suffix << "}"
}
say "| #{expr}"
var body = ("say (" + vars.map{|v| v+",'\t'," }.join + " '| ', #{expr})")
eval(prefix + [body] + suffix -> join("\n"))
}
Output:
Boolean expression (e.g. 'a & b'): (a & b) | c
a b c | (a & b) | c
false false false | false
false false true | true
false true false | false
false true true | true
true false false | false
true false true | true
true true false | true
true true true | true
