I have a logic expression: f0[a0_, a1_, a2_, a3_] := a0 And Not a1 And Not a2 And a3 Or Not a0 And a2 And a3 Or Not a0 And a1 And a3, I know I should use BooleanTable, but it cannot generate a table like below.

How to generate a truth table in mathematica like below?

    $\begingroup$ There is the BooleanTable command. Does it help? For creating the corresponding function you can use logical and: && and logical or: || in case you don't know. $\endgroup$ – user59583 Dec 3 '18 at 6:17
  • $\begingroup$ @Buddha_the_Scientist Thank you, I have correct my expression, Of course BooleanTable can help me, but it cannot generate a table like the picture above, it only returns a series of true or false. $\endgroup$ – user61698 Dec 3 '18 at 6:23
  • $\begingroup$ Then use the TableForm with the option TableHeadings for the result. Something like: TableForm[{{a, b, c, d}}, TableHeadings -> {None, {"a0", "a1", "a2", "a3"}}] $\endgroup$ – user59583 Dec 3 '18 at 6:24
  • $\begingroup$ @Buddha_the_Scientist, thank you, but how to use my function to generate all series of possible outputs like this? I know that how to generate one possible output commad: TableForm[{{True, False, True, False, f0[True, False, True, False]}}, TableHeadings -> {None, {"a0", "a1", "a2", "a3", "b0"}}] $\endgroup$ – user61698 Dec 3 '18 at 6:44

$\begingroup$

f = a0 && ! a1 && ! a2 && a3

TableForm[BooleanTable[{a0, a1, a2, a3, f}, {a0, a1, a2, a3}], TableHeadings -> {None, {a0, a1, a2, a3, f}}]

Apparently there are resources like this one or this one

f0[a0_, a1_, a2_, a3_] := a0 \[And] \[Not] a1 \[And] \[Not] a2 \[And] a3;

truthTable[a0, a1, a2, a3, f0[a0, a1, a2, a3]]
