Every case, written out.
Also known as: Truth-value table, Logic table
The tabular notation enumerating the value of a logical expression for every combination of its inputs.
Gives the value of a logical expression for every combination of its inputs.

Complete by construction: because every case is listed, a claim about the expression can be settled by inspection rather than by argument, which is why the notation is used to prove and not only to record.

Grows as two to the power of the inputs, so it is exhaustive and useless at the same time beyond a handful of variables — the reason the Karnaugh map and its successors exist.
Contexts: Mathematics, Software
A ruled grid with one column for each input and one for the result, and one row for every possible combination of input values.
The map exists because the table becomes unusable beyond a few variables.
