hi guys,

if a conditional statement says something like, "if i win the game, I should buy a toy", how do I diagram this out? Is it even diagrammable? If so, how would this work, since it's not a certainty expression?

Thank you!

    Anyone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you'd just include the "should" as part of your necessary condition. It would be:

    WG -->SBT

    which would make the contrapositive:

    /SBT --> /WG

    or "If I should not buy a toy, then I didn't win the game" A little awkward-sounding but logically valid.

    I agree!
