Q164

I generally feel pretty comfortable with conditional logic, but I really can't wrap my head around this question:

"G will be assigned unless K is assigned."

Thanks for your help!

Hi! Hi! Sorry for the embarrassing delay in response here. We had a technical difficulty that caused this post to get improperly categorized and lost in the cracks.

"Unless" is tricky. One way to diagram it is to replace "Unless" with "if not..." and start your conditional diagram with the "if not" part of the statement

So, "G will be assigned unless K is assigned" becomes "if K is not assigned, G will be assigned: -K --> G "

Hope this helps!

Hi, no problem! Thank you for your response -- that is a helpful replacement that I always forget about.
