implies(=> 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.
