TOUGH Conditional Statement- HELP! Forum

[youknowryan]

People never learn to program a computer by reading poorly written directions.

I take this to mean that the sufficient condition is poorly written directions and the necessary condition is never learning to program a computer.

Reworded as if/then:

If one reads poorly written directions, then they will never learn to program a computer.

Diagrammed:

poorly written directions->~program computer

Am I close?

[s0ph1e2007]

if you learn to read a computer you didn't read poorly written directions

Handy trick:

No A is B = A -> Not B

~PC->PWD
~PWD->PC

[Stanford4Me]

Do I have it?
~PC->PWD
~PWD->PC

I'm reading it as

PWD => ~PC
PC => ~PWD

It doesn't say ONLY people who read poorly written directions never learn how to program a computer.

You had it right the first time.
