In [[Boolean function]]s and [[propositional calculus]], the '''Sheffer stroke''', named after [[Henry M. Sheffer]], written "|" (see [[vertical bar]], not to be confused with "||" which is often used to represent [[Logical disjunction|disjunction]]), "D''pq''", or "↑", denotes a [[logical operation]] that is equivalent to the [[logical negation|negation]] of the [[logical conjunction|conjunction]] operation, expressed in ordinary language as "not both".  It is also called '''nand'''  ("not and") or the '''alternative denial''', since it says in effect that at least one of its operands is false.  In [[Boolean algebra (logic)|Boolean algebra]] and [[digital electronics]] it is known as the '''NAND operation'''.
 
Like its [[duality (mathematics)|dual]], the [[logical NOR|NOR operator]] (a.k.a. the [[Charles Sanders Peirce|Peirce]] arrow or [[Willard Van Orman Quine|Quine]] dagger), NAND can be used by itself, without any other logical operator, to constitute a logical [[formal system]] (making NAND [[functional completeness|functionally complete]]). This property makes the [[NAND gate]] crucial to modern [[digital electronics]], including its use in [[NAND flash]] memory and [[computer processor]] design.
 
==Definition==
The '''NAND operation''' is a [[logical operation]] on two [[logical value]]s. It produces a value of true, if—and only if—at least one of the [[proposition]]s is false.
 
===Truth table===
The [[truth table]] of '''A NAND B''' (also written as '''A&nbsp;|&nbsp;B''', '''Dpq''', or '''A&nbsp;↑&nbsp;B''') is as follows:
 
{| class="wikitable"  style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em"
|- bgcolor="#ddeeff" align="center"
|colspan=2|'''INPUT''' || '''OUTPUT'''
|- bgcolor="#ddeeff" align="center"

|0 || 1 || 1
|- bgcolor="#ddffdd" align="center"
|1 || 0 || 1
|- bgcolor="#ddffdd" align="center"
|1 || 1 || 0
|}
 
==History==
The stroke is named after [[Henry M. Sheffer]], who provided (Sheffer 1913) an axiomatization of [[Boolean algebra (structure)|Boolean algebra]]s using the stroke, and proved its equivalence to a standard formulation thereof by [[Edward Vermilye Huntington|Huntington]] employing the familiar operators of [[propositional logic]] ([[logical conjunction|and]], [[logical disjunction|or]],  [[negation|not]]). Because of self-[[duality (order theory)|duality]] of Boolean algebras, Sheffer's axioms are equally valid for either of the NAND or NOR operations in place of the stroke. Sheffer interpreted the stroke as a sign for non-disjunction (NOR) in his paper, mentioning non-conjunction only in a footnote and without a special sign for it. It was Jean [[Nicod]] who first used the stroke as a sign for non-conjunction (NAND) in a paper of 1917 and which has since become current practice.<ref>{{Harvcoltxt|Church|1956|p=134}}</ref>
 
[[Charles Sanders Peirce]] (1880) had discovered the [[functional completeness]] of NAND or NOR more than 30 years earlier, using the term ''[[ampheck]]'' (for ‘cutting both ways’), but he never published his finding.
 
==Properties==
NAND does not possess any of the following five properties, each of which is required to be absent from, and the absence of all of which is sufficient for, at least one member of a set of [[functional completeness|functionally complete]] operators: truth-preservation, falsity-preservation, [[affine transformation|linearity]], [[monotonic]]ity, [[duality (mathematics)#Duality in logic and set theory|self-duality]]. (An operator is truth- (falsity-) preserving if its value is truth (falsity) whenever all of its arguments are truth (falsity).) Therefore {NAND} is a functionally complete set.
 
This can also be realized as follows: All three elements of the functionally complete set {AND, OR, NOT} can be [[#Introduction, elimination, and equivalencies|constructed using only NAND]]. Thus the set {NAND} must be functionally complete as well.
 
==Introduction, elimination, and equivalencies==
 
The Sheffer stroke <math>\uparrow</math> is the negation of the conjunction:

==Formal system based on the Sheffer stroke==
The following is an example of a [[formal system]] based entirely on the Sheffer stroke, yet having the functional expressiveness of the [[propositional logic]]:
 
===Symbols===
''p<sub>n</sub>'' for natural numbers ''n'' <br>
( | )
 
The Sheffer stroke commutes but does not associate (e.g., (T|T)|F = T, but T|(T|F) = F). Hence any formal system including the Sheffer stroke must also include a means of indicating grouping. We shall employ '(' and ')' to this effect.
 
We also write ''p'', ''q'', ''r'', … instead of ''p''<sub>0</sub>, ''p''<sub>1</sub>, ''p''<sub>2</sub>.
 
===Syntax===
'''Construction Rule I:''' For each natural number ''n'', the symbol ''p<sub>n</sub>'' is a [[well-formed formula]] (wff), called an atom.
 
'''Construction Rule II:''' If ''X'' and ''Y'' are wffs, then (''X''|''Y'') is a wff.
 
'''Closure Rule:''' Any formulae which cannot be constructed by means of the first two Construction Rules are not wffs.
 
The letters ''U'', ''V'', ''W'', ''X'', and ''Y'' are metavariables standing for wffs.
 
A decision procedure for determining whether a formula is well-formed goes as follows: "deconstruct" the formula by applying the Construction Rules backwards, thereby breaking the formula into smaller subformulae. Then repeat this recursive deconstruction process to each of the subformulae. Eventually the formula should be reduced to its atoms, but if some subformula cannot be so reduced, then the formula is not a wff.
 
===Calculus===
All wffs of the form
:((''U''|(''V''|''W''))|((''Y''|(''Y''|''Y''))|((''X''|''V'')|((''U''|''X'')|(''U''|''X'')))))
are axioms. Instances of
:(''U''|(''V''|''W'')), ''U'' <math>\vdash</math> ''W''
are inference rules.
 
===Simplification===
Since the only connective of this logic is |, the symbol | could be discarded altogether, leaving only the parentheses to group the letters. A pair of parentheses must always enclose a pair of ''wff''s. Examples of theorems in this simplified notation are
 
: (''p''(''p''(''q''(''q''((''pq'')(''pq'')))))),
 
: (''p''(''p''((''qq'')(''pp'')))).
 
The notation can be simplified further, by letting
: (''U'') := (''UU'')
: ((''U'')) <math>\equiv</math> ''U''
for any ''U''.  This simplification causes the need to change some rules:
# More than two letters are allowed within parentheses.
# Letters or wffs within parentheses are allowed to commute.
# Repeated letters or wffs within a same set of parentheses can be eliminated.
The result is a parenthetical version of the Peirce [[existential graph]]s.
 
Another way to simplify the notation is to eliminate parenthesis by using [[Polish Notation]]. For example, the earlier examples with only parenthesis could be rewritten using only strokes as follows
 
: (''p''(''p''(''q''(''q''((''pq'')(''pq'')))))) becomes
: |''p''|''p''|''q''|''q''||''pq''|''pq'', and
 
: (''p''(''p''((''qq'')(''pp'')))) becomes,
: |''p''|''p''||''qq''|''pp''.
 
This follows the same rules as the parenthesis version, with opening parenthesis replaced with a Sheffer stroke and the (redundant) closing parenthesis removed.
