The forms of the statement and its types — Philosophy STD 12 Arts — Question

• Legislative variable is a symbol in which any statement can be replaced.
• The lower case letters of the English alphabet, p, q, r, s, etc., are used as consonantal variables.
• These lowercase letters do not indicate a specific statement but only the location of the statement.
• A legislative change can be replaced by a simple statement or a joint statement.
• E.g. If p then q. In this example, if p is replaced by ‘work hard.’ And q is replaced by ‘pass’, the statement ‘if you work hard, you will pass’ is found. Or p can be replaced by the joint statement 'If you work hard, you will pass'.
• Any simple, composite or complex compound statement can be substituted as a symbol indicating the location of a legislative variable statement.
• Legislative-variables are used to represent the form for a statement.
• The form for a statement is an arrangement of symbols that includes not statements but legislative changes or legislative changes and logical factors.
• The following should be kept in mind when using statutory variables:

(1) In some contexts, the same statement should be used as the number of times a single legislative variation has been used.
(2) A statement substituted for a legislative change in certain contexts should not be used in reference to another legislative change.
