CNF (Conjunctive Normal Form)

Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) is a way of writing logical statements where the expression is made up of multiple "clauses" connected by "AND" operations. Each clause is a list of conditions connected by "OR" operations. For example, a statement like "(A OR B) AND (C OR NOT D)" is in CNF. This format is useful because it standardizes logical formulas, making them easier for computers to analyze and solve, especially in problems like automated reasoning and hardware verification. CNF provides a clear, structured way to express complex logical relationships.
