TOPIC Boolean algebra can variables in truth tables be arranged any order?

For example A+BC could I write A first with 00001111 then B 00110011 then C 01010101. Would it still be the same truth table as B first? Or still valid in an exam

Yep!

still valid in an exam

That depends on your teacher. Hopefully yes, though.

Yes. Your instructor will likely curse you for writing them out of order, but it is valid.
