Definition: A condition A is said to be sufficient for a condition B, if (and only if) the truth (/existence /occurrence) of A guarantees (or brings about) the truth (/existence /occurrence) of B.


Definition: A condition A is said to be necessary for a condition B, if (and only if) the falsity (/nonexistence /non-occurrence) of A guarantees (or brings about) the falsity (/nonexistence /non-occurrence) of B.
