Hello everyone!
Is it possible to tell Wolfram|Alpha to interpret NOR and NAND as binary operators instead of n-ary?
I’m searching for a way to find NAND and NOR forms of expressions, but only using binary operators.
When I enter queries, Wolfram|Alpha always tells me that it assumes NAND/NOR as n-ary operators, but I haven’t found a way to make it not do that.
Not sure about your trouble but are you aware that n-ary is a subset of bin-ary?
Isn’t it the other way around?
An n-ary operator can take any amount of arguments, so a binary operator is an n-ary operator and all binary operators are a subset of the n-ary operators. A binary operator always takes two arguments, so it can’t be the superset of the n-ary operators, which can take any amount of arguments.
My goal however ist to make Wolfram:Alpha only use binary operators; with NAND/NOR as n-ary operators, it also supplies solutions where three or more arguments are fed into NAND/NOR, I’m trying to make it only use NANDs/NORs that take two arguments.
Oh, your of course perfectly right, in the hurry I mixed up super and sub set.
Ah good, that’s reassuring!
