Implication- It is the relationship between two propositions where one preposition leads to the

other prepositions. Th Implication pq ( read as p implies q, or if p then q) is the


statement which asserts that if p is true, then q is also true.

A Compound
statement formed with the connective word implies or phrase “if then” is a conditional statement

If Joebert is smart then Joebert is handsome


p: Joebert is smart
q: Joebert is handsome
p q

While on the other hand, Simple Implication explains the relationship between the
statements holds true when one logically “follows from” one or more others. While the
statement of the form “if p then q” is often written as the assertion is “q logical
consequence p”. Eg:
p: Joebert is smart
q: Joebert is handsome
pq
If Joerbet is smart, then Joebert is handsome
