Power Logic Applications

A.Fourth Edition
This is actually Fourth( Really? I don't remember clearly and who cares?) edition of my logic class. And it would be
more precise to call it an application. However, there is indeed some improvement with little code added but
powerful function achieved!( Really? I guess I won't believe what I said myself.)
B. The problem to solve:
I made little improvement to try to solve an logic proof in COMP238 sample test in other section. The problem is
like following:
//This is what we need to prove:
// [(p||t)&&(p-->q)&&(q-->r)&&(r-->s)&&(s-->t)] --> t
p,q,r,s,t are all propositional functions. And the problem suggests a proof by contradiction. Indeed, if you
don't go this way, it is quite difficult, at least very tedious.
C. What is my approach?
I changed my major function "doAnalysing()" a little bit by adding a parameter of bool byContradiction to make
it look like "void doAnalysing(bool byContradiction = false)". So, when you want to prove by contradiction,
simply pass a true parameter instead the default false parameter. Then in the implementation of the original
function, I only compare the in-passing parameter and change the last result to be false to begin an analysing
if it is "proof by contradiction". That is it.
However, at first the program doesn't give correct outcome except only show that "t is false and all other is
unknown". This is quite normal as when program pass only once in formula, it won't make full use of newly-deducted
result of "t is false". How to make program to invoke new result as long as he gets it? Simply redo when there is
new discovery. That is what I did in changing the function "analysing" of class "Analyse". I simply add a
recursive call of itself when "readStack()" return true which means the program did find new value and change it.
Originally I am so clever to write this "readStack()" as bool-return function. Now it proves it is worth the
efforts!
D. Major function：
A. void Analyse::analysing(bool byContradiction)
Keep finding the "result" type in OpRec(the stack) and call "readStack", doing the analysing. Have to clear stack for
next expression checking. When "readStack()" returns true, recursively call analysing itself to restart
analysing job.

E. Moral:
Once our great leader Chairman Mao taught us that "theory cannot be tested and developed unless it is combined with practice".
So, all the program I wrote needs to be put into practice to get qualified and developed.
