Conjunctive Normal Form

Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) is a way to express logical statements in a standard format. In CNF, a statement is written as a conjunction (AND) of one or more clauses, where each clause is a disjunction (OR) of literals. Essentially, it combines multiple conditions that must all be true at the same time, with each condition allowing for alternatives. For example, a CNF might look like (A OR B) AND (C OR NOT D). This format is useful in computer science and mathematics, particularly in areas like logic, artificial intelligence, and automated reasoning.
