import sage.logic.propcalc as propcalc
f = propcalc.formula("(a->b)&(b->c)")
g = propcalc.formula("a->c")
h = f -> g

This looks like Python interpreter is interpreting the line before it goes to the propcalc. How do I make the formula f -> g? Is there some function like h = f.implies(g) or some such?

Thanks

OK. I found the answer.

h = f.ifthen(g)
h.truthtable()

which shows that hypothetical syllogism is a valid derivation.
