Challenge accepted.
* In boolean algebra, 1 + 1 = 1
* Over the field Z2 (the integers modulo 2), 1 + 1 = 0
* In binary, 1 + 1 = 10
* In a language that allows overloading +, 1 + 1 = usually 2, but potentially almost anything else
In conclusion, context matters
- trainingaccount 8y agoWot no vectors?
- marcosdumay 8y ago|1> + |1> = 2 * |1> =/= |2>
- mclehman 8y agoTo be fair, in Z2 the equivalence class of 1 + 1 is still equivalent to the equivalence class of 2.
- animal531 8y agoAnd of course 1 + 1 + Solar Flare = N
