Short human descriptions for logic's AND, OR and NOT
In a user interface, we are offering the user to combine searches using either AND, OR or NOT
http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/logic-gate-AND-OR-XOR-NOT-NAND-NOR-and-XNOR
We have little graphics explaining the effect, but what would be good, laymen, human words to describe these operations in english as separate items in a menu list ? Short sentences like 'combine searches','intersect searches','exclude from previous search' spring to mind .. but I'm not a native speaker.
It would depend to an extent on your target audience (Children?, Mathematicians?)
AND - Must also include
OR - May instead include
NOT - Must not include
Try this:
AND - "all"
OR - "at least one"
NOT - "opposite"
XOR - "odd number"
NAND - "not all"
NOR - "nothing"
XNOR - "all or nothing"
