NAME Acme::Test::LogicalEquivalence - Test if expressions are logically equivalent VERSION version 0.001 SYNOPSIS use Test::More; use Acme::Test::LogicalEquivalence qw(is_logically_equivalent); # test two expressions with 2 variables using the special vars $a and $b is_logically_equivalent(2, sub { $a && $b }, sub { $b && $a }); # same as above is_logically_equivalent(2, sub { $_[0] && $_[1] }, sub { $_[1] && $_[0] }); # you can do as many vars as you like is_logically_equivalent(3, sub { $_[0] || ($_[1] && $_[2]) }, sub { ($_[0] || $_[1]) && ($_[0] || $_[2]) }); done_testing; DESCRIPTION Some expressions are "logically equivalent" to other expressions, but it may not be easy to tell if one or both of the expressions are reasonably complicated. Or maybe you're like many other people and are too lazy to go through the effort... Either way, why not let your computer prove logical equivalence for you? FUNCTIONS is_logically_equivalent Test logical equivalence of two subroutines. my $is_equivalent = is_logically_equivalent($numvars, &sub1, &sub2); This will execute both of the subroutines one or more times (depending on how many variables you specify) with different inputs. The subroutines shall be considered logically equivalent if, for all combinations of inputs, they both return the same thing. Returns true if the subroutines are logically equivalent, false otherwise. SEE ALSO * What is logical equivalence?
