If car, then vehicle = true
Car if and only if vehicle = true.
Is this correct?
Therefore “If A then B” = “A if and only if B” (or “If B then A” = “B if and only if A”)?
Comment on Is "If A then B" equal to "B if and only if A"?

B can still be true when a is false. iff means that b can only be true when a is true.

You’d have to firm up your definition of car and vehicle before you could decide that one. Does a hot wheels car count as a car? Does a vehicle have to be large enough to move people or freight?

I just figured with Lemmy’s interest in politics it seemed like an obvious example. I threw in the car because I didn’t want to be that guy who makes everything about nazis…

Yeah careful with that, the logic example Nazis will be all over you if you don’t mix it up some.

Not everything is about Nazis, Boinkage, geez…
