=== ... by semantic means === The full DNF of a formula can be read off its [[truth table]].<ref>{{harvnb|Smullyan|1968|p=14}}: "Make a truth-table for the formula. Each line of the table which comes out "T" will yield one of the basic conjunctions of the disjunctive normal form."</ref>{{sfn|Sobolev|2020}} For example, consider the formula :<math>\phi = ((\lnot (p \land q)) \leftrightarrow (\lnot r \uparrow (p \oplus q)))</math>.<ref><math>\phi</math> = (('''[[Negation|NOT]]''' (p '''[[Logical conjunction|AND]]''' q)) '''[[If and only if|IFF]]''' (('''[[Negation|NOT]]''' r) '''[[Sheffer stroke|NAND]]''' (p '''[[XOR]]''' q)))</ref> The corresponding [[truth table]] is :{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! <math>p</math> ! <math>q</math> ! <math>r</math> ! style="background:black"| ! <math>(</math> ! <math>\lnot</math> ! <math>(p \land q)</math> ! <math>)</math> ! <math>\leftrightarrow</math> ! <math>(</math> ! <math>\lnot r</math> ! <math>\uparrow</math> ! <math>(p \oplus q)</math> ! <math>)</math> |- | T || T || T ||style="background:black"| || || F || T || || style="background:papayawhip" | F || || F || T || F || |- | T || T || F ||style="background:black"| || || F || T || || style="background:papayawhip" | F || || T || T || F || |- | style="background:lightgreen"|T || style="background:lightgreen"|F || style="background:lightgreen"|T ||style="background:black"| || || T || F || || style="background:papayawhip" | '''T''' || || F || T || T || |- | T || F || F ||style="background:black"| || || T || F || || style="background:papayawhip" | F || || T || F || T || |- | style="background:lightgreen"|F || style="background:lightgreen"|T || style="background:lightgreen"|T ||style="background:black"| || || T || F || || style="background:papayawhip" | '''T''' || || F || T || T || |- | F || T || F ||style="background:black"| || || T || F || || style="background:papayawhip" | F || || T || F || T || |- | style="background:lightgreen"|F || style="background:lightgreen"|F || style="background:lightgreen"|T ||style="background:black"| || || T || F || || style="background:papayawhip" | '''T''' || || F || T || F || |- | style="background:lightgreen"|F || style="background:lightgreen"|F || style="background:lightgreen"|F ||style="background:black"| || || T || F || || style="background:papayawhip" | '''T''' || || T || T || F || |} * The full DNF equivalent of <math>\phi</math> is :<math> ( p \land \lnot q \land r) \lor (\lnot p \land q \land r) \lor (\lnot p \land \lnot q \land r) \lor (\lnot p \land \lnot q \land \lnot r) </math> * The full DNF equivalent of <math>\lnot \phi</math> is :<math> ( p \land q \land r) \lor ( p \land q \land \lnot r) \lor ( p \land \lnot q \land \lnot r) \lor (\lnot p \land q \land \lnot r) </math>
