Quine–McCluskey algorithm

The Quine-McCluskey algorithm is a way to figure out all of the possible ways a combination of true and false statements can be put together. Imagine you have five statements: A, B, C, D, and E. Each statement can either be true or false. With the Quine-McCluskey algorithm, you can figure out all the possible combinations of those statements that mean something. So, it would tell you things like: if A and B are true, but C, D, and E are false, or if A and E are false, but B, C, and D are true. It's a way to figure out all the possible combinations so you don't have to guess or test them all one by one.
