Logical Quantifier
BE /ˈlɒʤɪkəl ˈkwɒntɪfaɪə/, AE /ˈlɑ:ʤɪkl̩ ˈkwɑntɪˌfaɪər/
Definition
In predicate logic the two fundamental quantifiers are the logical quantifiers (also called generalized quantifiers), which are the universal quantifier and the existential quantifier.
Examples
- Universal quantifier: ∀ apple (Read as: for every apple, for all apples)
- Existential quantifier: ∃ apple (Read as: at least one apple exists)
