Biconditional

A biconditional is a sequence of sentences separated by occurrences of the ⇔ operator and enclosed in parentheses. For example, we can write the biconditional of p and q as (p ⇔ q).

A biconditional is true if and only if the truth values of its constituent sentences agree, i.e. they are either both true or both false.
