Iverson Notation

Iverson notation is a mathematical notation introduced by Kenneth E. Iverson that simplifies the expression of logical conditions. In this system, a function, typically denoted by brackets, outputs 1 for true conditions and 0 for false ones. For example, the expression [x > 5] evaluates to 1 if x is greater than 5, and 0 otherwise. This notation is particularly useful in programming and mathematics for condensing complex logical expressions, making calculations more straightforward and easier to read. It allows for concise representation of decision-making processes in algorithms and equations.
