Re: A "but" operator.

in reply to A "but" operator.

When it comes to boolean logic (truth tables, etc), "but" is "and". The only difference is one of emphasis/constrast (what theorbtwo was talking about). For example

1)  I went to school and bob went to work.
2)  I went to school but bob went to work.

The two statements are logically equivalent, but in #2 the writer wishes to emphasize the difference.
