Use the Boolean functions to perform logical operations on single Boolean values or arrays of Boolean values.

Palette Object	Description
And Array Elements	Returns TRUE if all the elements in Boolean array are TRUE or if Boolean array is empty. Otherwise, the function returns FALSE. This function accepts an array of any size but returns only a single value based on all values in Boolean array.
And	Computes the logical AND of the inputs. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If both inputs are TRUE, the function returns TRUE. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.
Boolean Array To Number	Converts a Boolean array to a 32-bit unsigned integer by interpreting the array as the two's complement of the binary representation of an integer, with the first element of the array being the least significant bit.
Boolean To (0,1)	Converts a Boolean FALSE or TRUE value to a 16-bit integer with a value of 0 or 1, respectively.
Compound Arithmetic	Performs arithmetic on one or more numeric, array, cluster, or Boolean inputs. Select the operation (Add, Multiply, AND, OR, or XOR) by right-clicking the function and selecting Change Mode from the shortcut menu. When you select this function from the Numeric palette, the default mode is Add. When you select this function from the Boolean palette, the default mode is OR.
Exclusive Or	Computes the logical exclusive or (XOR) of the inputs. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If both inputs are TRUE or both inputs are FALSE, the function returns FALSE. Otherwise, it returns TRUE.
False Constant	Use this constant to provide a value of FALSE to the block diagram.
Implies	Negates x and then computes the logical OR of y and the negated x. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If x is TRUE and y is FALSE, the function returns FALSE. Otherwise, it returns TRUE.
Not And	Computes the logical NAND of the inputs. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If both inputs are TRUE, the function returns FALSE. Otherwise, it returns TRUE.
Not Exclusive Or	Computes the logical negation of the logical exclusive or (XOR) of the inputs. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If both inputs are TRUE or both inputs are FALSE, the function returns TRUE. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.
Not Or	Computes the logical NOR of the inputs. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If both inputs are FALSE, the function returns TRUE. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.
Not	Computes the logical negation of the input. If x is FALSE, the function returns TRUE. If x is TRUE, the function returns FALSE.
Number To Boolean Array	Converts an integer or fixed-point number to a Boolean array. If you wire an integer to number, Boolean array returns an array of 8, 16, 32, or 64 elements, depending on the number of bits in the integer. If you wire a fixed-point number to number, the size of the array that Boolean array returns equals the word length of the fixed-point number. The 0th element of the array corresponds to the least significant bit of the two's complement of the binary representation of the integer.
Or Array Elements	Returns FALSE if all the elements in Boolean array are FALSE or if Boolean array is empty. Otherwise, the function returns TRUE. This function accepts an array of any size but returns only a single value based on all values in Boolean array.
Or	Computes the logical OR of the inputs. Both inputs must be Boolean or numeric values. If both inputs are FALSE, the function returns FALSE. Otherwise, it returns TRUE.
True Constant	Use this constant to provide a value of TRUE to the block diagram.
