False otherwise. `nand' is false only when both (all) arguments are true. True otherwise. Truth table: A B (nand A B) t t f t f t f t t f f t `or' is false only when both (all) arguments are false. True otherwise. `nor' is true only when both (all) arguments are false. True otherwise. A B (nor A B) t t f t f f f t f f f t So, when you say 'neither' you mean 'nor'. Ah, then there's also XOR (eXclusive OR): True when the arguments are different. A B (xor A B) t t f t f t f t t f f f Anyway, IMHO I don't see need to have these bindings in #lang racket.
