CNF satisfiability problem

The CNF (Conjunctive Normal Form) satisfiability problem involves determining whether a logical statement, expressed as a combination of ANDs of ORs (called clauses), can be assigned true or false values to make the entire statement true. Each clause is a group of conditions connected by ORs, and all clauses are connected by ANDs. The problem asks: is there a way to set the variables so that every clause is true simultaneously? This problem is fundamental in computer science, especially in fields like artificial intelligence and automated reasoning, as it relates to verifying whether certain logical conditions can be satisfied.
