Computing | NOR Not OR. The Boolean function which is true if none of its inputs are true and false otherwise, the logical complement of inclusive OR. The binary (two-input) NOR function can be defined (written as an infix operator): A NOR B = NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B) Its truth table is: A | B | A NOR B --+---+--------- F | F | T F | T | F T | F | F T | T | F NOR, like NAND, forms a complete set of Boolean functions on its own since it can be used to make NOT, AND, OR and any other Boolean function: NOT A = A NOR A A OR B = NOT (A NOR B) A AND B = (NOT A) NOR (NOT B) (1995-02-06).

Tips from 1870 | Usage: Or, Nor. When the antecedent consists of two or more nouns separated by or, nor, as well as, or any other disjunctive, the pronoun must be singular. "Neither spelling nor parsing receive the attention they once received." Verb and pronoun should be singular, receives and it. Usage: Nothing, nor. "There was nothing at the Columbian Exposition more beautiful, nor more suggestive of the progress of American art, than Tiffany's display." Change nor to or. Usage: Nor, no. "Give not me counsel, nor let no comforter delight mine ear," says Shakespeare. "There can be no rules laid down, nor no manner recommended," says Sheridan. "No skill could obviate, nor no remedy dispel the terrible infection." The foregoing sentences may be corrected by changing nor to and. Usage: Nor, not. "I never did repent for doing good, nor shall not now." "We need not, nor do not, confine the purposes of God." "Which do not continue, nor are not binding." "For my part I love him not, nor hate him not." In these sentences, change nor to and. CHAPTER XVI Accordance of Verb with Subject No rule of grammar is more familiar to the schoolboy than that which relates to the agreement of the verb with its subject, or nominative, and none that is more frequently violated. It would be a mistake, however, to assume that the schoolboy is the only transgressor. Ladies and gentlemen of culture and refinement, writers and speakers of experience and renown, have alike been caught in the quicksands of verb constructions. "This painting is one of the finest masterpieces that ever was given to the world." A transposition of the sentence will show that the verb should be were, and not was. "Of the finest masterpieces that ever were given to the world, this painting is one." "His essay on 'Capital and Labor' is one of the best that has ever been written on the subject." The verb should be have. "The steamer, with all her passengers and crew, were lost." The subject is steamer, and the verb should be was. Usage: Or, Nor, As well as, But, Save. When two or more nominatives in the singular are separated by such words as the preceding, the verb must be singular. "Veracity, as well as justice, is to be our rule of life."-- Butler. "Not a weed nor a blade of grass were to be seen." Change were to was. "Nothing but wailings were heard." Transpose. "Nothing was heard but wailings." The verb should be was. "Either one or the other of them are in the wrong." The verb should be is. If, however, one or more of the nominatives are plural, the verb must be plural. "It is not his wealth, or gifts, or culture that gives him this distinction." Gifts being plural, the verb should be give. Some authorities say that the verb should agree in number with the subject which is placed next before it, and be understood (or silent) to the rest; as, "Neither he nor his brothers were there," "Neither his brothers nor he was there," "Neither you nor I am concerned." Prof. Genung, author of Outlines of Rhetoric, says: "When a clash of concord arises, either choose subjects that have the same number, or choose a verb that has the same form for both numbers." He gives this sentence to show the change of verb: "Fame or the emoluments of valor were (was) never to be his." "Fame or the emoluments of valor could never be his." And this sentence to show the change of one of the subjects: "Neither the halter nor bayonets are (is) sufficient to prevent us from obtaining our rights." "Neither the halter nor the bayonet is sufficient to prevent us from obtaining our rights." Source: Slips of Speech. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Logical nor (not or) is a boolean logic operator which produces a result that is the inverse of logical or. That is, p nor q is only true when both p and q are false, and is false otherwise.Nor has the interesting feature that all other logical operators can be expressed by various functions of nor.
This is similar to the logical nand operator.
- "not p" is equivalent to "p NOR p"
- "p and q" is equivalent to "(p NOR p) NOR (q NOR q)"
- "p or q" is equivalent to "(p NOR q) NOR (p NOR q)"
- "p implies q" is equivalent to "((p NOR q) NOR q) NOR ((p NOR q) NOR q)"
