[R] Is there a Truth Table Generator in R?

[Jeff Newmiller]

There are 2^(2^length(tt)) possible "truth" vectors for the inputs defined in tt. AND-ing all of the inputs only gives one of those possibilities. Some popular named cases for 2 inputs are shown here [1], but it is common to use combinations of !, & and | to specify a particular truth vector. There is also the problem of reverse-engineering such a boolean expeession [2] in simplest form from a given truth vector, but I don't know if anyone has implemented such algorithms in R.
