Hi all,
In the explanation for this game board (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/inout-game-2-game-board-setup/?ss_completed_lesson=17878), JY uses group 3 logical operator, unless, to translate the lawgic. I thought that he would use group 4, cannot. How do we know which logical operator to use when there are two in the sentence?

@tristandesinor505 @tristandesinor505 thzmks guys! I get it but it's still not cemented in my head just need more practice ugh learning this is so hard lol. So 'unless' should always be considered a / right?

Agreed with the above. I always found it easier to think of these types of statements as the below:
No N without L, which is equivalent to N requires L
N --> L
Yea. I learned this thinking that all those lyrics about "I can't live without you" basically means that "I need you." lol
So I go like, "Okay....N needs L...." whenever I see sentences like that.

"Unless" means "if … not" or "except if," so "unless L is in" means "the case where L is not in."
@tristandesinor505 why does 'unless L is in' translate to '/L'?
You can use either one and you will end up with the same thing.
N cannot be in unless L is in.
Group 3 translation:
Step 1) The logical operator: "unless"
Step 2) Identify the two main concepts: “N cannot be in” and “L is in”
Step 3) Assign symbols to the two main concepts: Here, “/N” for “N cannot be in” and “L” for “L is in.”
Step 4) Apply the translation rule: Here, pick an idea - “/N” - and negate it - “N” - and make it the sufficient condition.
N → L
Group 4 translation:
Step 1) The logical operator: "cannot"
Step 2) Identify the two main concepts: "N is in" and "unless L is in"
Step 3) Assign symbols to the two main concepts: Here, “N” for "N is in" and "/L" for "unless L is in"
Step 4) Apply the translation rule: Here, pick an idea - “N” - and negate it - “/N” - and make it the necessary condition.
/L → /N
I find Group 3 much simpler. As soon as "A cannot be in unless B is in," I immediately translate it as A → B because in order for A to be in, B must be in.
