Binary Operations
A binary operation combines two or more elements to give a result.
Given: a 📷 b = 2a - b What is the value of 3 📷 4 ?
Given: a 📷 b = 2a - b What is the value of (3 📷 4) 📷 2?
Given: a Æ b = 4 + b - a What is the value of -2 Æ 2 ?
The operations addition, subtraction and multiplication are binary operations. Division is NOT.
Given: m ? n = 5m + 3n
What is the value of 1 ? 2
Given: m ? n = 5m + 3n
What is the value of 1 ? (2 ? -3)
Given: a // b = (a + b) - 2ab
What is the value of 1 // 1?
Given a // b = (a + b) - 2ab,
What is the value of (1 // - 1) // 0 ?
A binary operation is NOT only limited to the four basic mathematical operations. Therefore, we can create more once we define it properly.
