Exclusive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- In the description of a mathematical set, the term exclusive denotes that the endpoints of a range are not included within the set. For example, "the integers -2 to 2 exclusive" refers to the set {-1,0,1}; the endpoints, -2 and 2, are excluded. The term is generally applied to discrete elements.
- In Boolean logic the exclusive or operator refers to exclusive disjunction, which has a true value if either but not both arguments are true. Distinct from inclusive or (or simply or), which is true if either or both arguments are true.
- The term exclusive in linguistics refers to first-person non-singular pronouns that don't include the addressee, i.e. we excluding you.
- In marketing, "exclusive" can refer to products that are only available from select distributors or retailers, or only at a particular event.
- In journalism, "exclusive" can refer to information provided to or available from only one news outlet, such as an interview or photograph.
