    Validity of the arguments by using Euler Circles

    Truth tables are related to Euler circles. Arguments in the form of Euler circles can be translated into statements using the basic connectives and the negation as follows: Let p be "The object belongs to set A." Let q be "the object belongs to set B." All A is B is equivalent to p -> q No A is B is equivalent to p -> ~q
