👉 Predicates are mathematical symbols that represent statements or propositions. In logic and mathematics, they serve as a way to express logical relationships between variables. For example: - "If it is raining, then I will go for a hike." - "I am not hungry." In other words, a predicate expresses the relationship between two or more variables (called "arguments") that can be true or false. This allows us to use truth tables and logical operators like AND, OR, and NOT to manipulate expressions
