Having learned how truth values arise, we now organise them systematically. Truth tables for basic connectives list every possible truth-value assignment and show how each connective behaves. This method removes ambiguity from compound statements. In this lesson, truth tables for basic connectives will provide the computational foundation for testing tautologies, contradictions, and valid arguments.

A \textbf{truth table} lists the truth value of a compound statement for every possible assignment of truth values to its component statements. Truth tables provide a systematic way to analyze compound statements.
