\n" );
document.write( "The only thing promised in this condition statement is that if it is raining then we will close the window
\n" );
document.write( ":
\n" );
document.write( "just because we close the window doesnt necessarily mean it is raining. It might or might not be raining
\n" );
document.write( ":
\n" );
document.write( "basically if p is the statement it is raining and q is we will close the window
\n" );
document.write( ":
\n" );
document.write( "We are given... if p then q or p->q. We are asked does q -> p\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "truth table
\n" );
document.write( ":
\n" );
document.write( "p  q  (p->q) -> (q->p)
