Boolean Toolbar |
Boolean operators can be used to evaluate expressions numerically or analytically,
and are useful for specifying constraints in solve
blocks. Click on the
button in the Math toolbar to open the Boolean toolbar or choose View > Toolbars > Boolean.

You can use the buttons or keystrokes to insert Boolean and logical operators. Boolean expressions are those whose result is either true or false. For example, 1 > 2 is Boolean because its value is FALSE, represented as a 0 in Mathcad. The operators above allow you to set up expressions, which can then be evaluated like any other Mathcad expression, for example
1 > 2 = 0
To learn what each button does, hover the cursor over the button until a tooltip shows the title and a description appears on the message line of the Status Bar.
