I'm not sure how you're supposed to write your conditional statements. Verbally, you could say:If you are a postal worker, then you are a federal employee. Jim is a postal worker, then he is a federal employee'
\n" ); document.write( "Or:
\n" ); document.write( "All postal workers are federal employees
\n" ); document.write( "Jim is a postal worker
\n" ); document.write( "________________________________________
\n" ); document.write( "Jim is a federal employee\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another way to do this is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let P=postal workers
\n" ); document.write( "Let Q=federal employee\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P--->Q
\n" ); document.write( "P
\n" ); document.write( "______
\n" ); document.write( "Q\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There will be other ways later more than likely.
\n" ); document.write( "I can't make circles, so I'm going to try to talk you through it. Draw a little circle inside of a big circle. Label the little circle (all postal workers). The little circle always gets the ALL things. Label the outer circle (federal employees).
\n" ); document.write( "Use an x to represent Jim. They said that he was a postal worker, so put the x in the little circle labeled (postal worker). Is the x also in the (federal employees) circle? Yes. The whole little circle is inside the big circle so this is a Valid argument.
\n" ); document.write( "I'll try an illustration, imagine the parnethesis as the little circle and the brakets as the big circle.
\n" ); document.write( "[federal employees(x postal workers)]
\n" ); document.write( "Is the x inside of the braket? Yes. Then it's a valid argument.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps.\r
