Abstract

Boolean graphs and complex non-intuitive editors for authoring complex nested Boolean expressions can result in erroneous evaluation results by relying exclusively on the ability of an author of the Boolean expression to accurately incorporate operands into the Boolean expression to achieve the desired result. Functionality for analyzing the effect of operator changes can be incorporated into an intuitive graphical user interface for authoring the Boolean expression. The impact of the operator changes can be determined based on a position of the operator in the Boolean expression. Multiple evaluation orders for evaluating the operators and their associated operands can also be identified and presented to the programmer to resolve ambiguities, that may arise while evaluating the Boolean expression. The organization of the Boolean expression can be graphically depicted to reflect an evaluation order of the operators and their associated operands that comprise the Boolean expression.
