A complex collective statement is a type of complex composite statement and contains at least one compound statement. The second statement is a simple or combined statement.
Aggregation is the paramount factor in this type of statement and it applies to the whole statement.
Examples of complex aggregate statements:
1. Sachin is popular and Clinton is not the President of India. S & ~ K
2. If our cricket team wins, it will be honored and people will be happy. (A → S) & L
3. Peace is endangered only if war breaks out and progress is hampered if peace is endangered. (R ↔ S) & (S → T)
- The first example shown above is the first aggregate simple statement of complex complex statement and the second aggregate composite statement.
- The second example is the first aggregate compound statement of a complex aggregate statement and the second aggregate simple statement.
- In the third example the two aggregates of a complex aggregate statement are a combined statement.
- The above statements are complex collective statements; Because the set (‘&’) is the paramount factor in each.
- Thus, a complex aggregate must have at least one aggregate if not a composite statement. The second can be an aggregate simple or composite statement.
