propositional functions

A propositional function is like a statement with a blank space that can be filled with different values to make a complete statement. For example, "x is even" becomes true or false depending on what number replaces x. It's a way to express ideas that depend on a specific variable, allowing us to analyze different scenarios systematically. Once you assign a specific value to the variable, it becomes a true or false statement. In essence, propositional functions are tools for creating general statements that can be tested or evaluated with various inputs.
