########################################



I- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

	-you has to have "java" installed to run this program.

	-this program will run in any operation system(windows/linux/mac/others) that has java installed on it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

II- USING THE GUI MODE

	-run the program in the gui mode by double clicking at the "TruthTableSolver.jar" file or by typing the command "java -jar path/TruthTableSolver.jar" in the command prompt/terminal(path is the path of the file "TruthTableSolver.jar" in).

	-to input your function press the buttons under the "FUNCTION" column.

	-change the default terms names in the "Terms Names" table.

	-chose between "Sum of products" or "Product of sums" options from the radio buttons.
	
	-chose between "All possible solutions" and "One solution" options from the radio buttons.

	-to clear all the values press "clear value" button.

	-to generate the answer press "solve".

	-in case of dont cares in the function there may be many possible solutions the "all possible solutions" option will give you all the possible solutions that are equaly minized
	 but when there is many possiblities it may take the program a long time to compute all the possibilities or even fail to compute it
	 so if you need all the possible solutions you have to wait
	 but if you only need one solution choose "one solution" option because it's faster.

	-in case of many solutions each solution will be separated by the previous solution by "empty line" then "OR" then "empty line".

	-notice that essential terms are colored in blue and none essential terms are colored in green.

	-if you need more that 16 terms use the command line mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III- USING THE COMMAND LINE MODE

	-run the program in the command line mode by typing the command "java -jar path/TruthTableSolver.jar -nw" in the command prompt/terminal(path is the path of the file "TruthTableSolver.jar" in).

	-in case of many solutions each solution will be separated by the previous solution by "empty line" then "OR" then "empty line".

*********************************************************

This program solves the truth table and output all the possible minimized
equations.

enter the number of terms : 4

enter name of term[1] : a
enter name of term[2] : b
enter name of term[3] : c
enter name of term[4] : d

enter the value[0] : 0
enter the value[1] : 0
enter the value[2] : 1
enter the value[3] : 0
enter the value[4] : 1
enter the value[5] : 0
