Venn Diagrams are honestly the best. Today in class, we went over 'and' and 'or'. 'And' means only the intersection of circles is shaded in and 'or' means the area of all the circles is shaded in. But, until the professor mentioned Python, I was all confused going like: 'What do you mean 'and'!'. As long as I remember the course is a computer science course, I should be fine. Also, maybe a little more common sense.
By the way, in high school I was always told not to trust Wikipedia but I found this page with lots of symbols and what they mean. I liked the neatness of the chart. So here is the page, I hope it is more or less helpful.

Like any encyclopedia, you take Wikipedia with a grain of salt. it is as good, and as bad, as the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has it's ups and downs. It's just a little something to see the course material from a different perspective. The classroom resources always come before the internet. And now I got a new Encyclopedia to explore.
