You give your child a bowl of vegetables and say this to them.
>If you don't eat your vegetables, you won't get any dessert.
Your child eats their vegetables and then asks for dessert. You refuse to give them dessert. Your child then throws a tantrum and accuses you of lying. Which logical fallacy is the child committing?

I don't know the name of it, but he assumed if not A results in not B, then A results B. He wasn't getting dessert either way, so the paren't wasn't lying.

Every time I post this some people symbolize the antecedent in the statement as "not A", and the consequent as "not B". I don't know why people do this. To me it only convolutes things. An atomic sentence can have a negation such as "not", "doesn't", "won't", "isn't" etc in it, that doesn't mean you need to split the negation from the rest of the atomic sentence in your symbolization. Why do that? The statement says
>if (you don't eat your vegetables), then (you won't get any dessert)
Wouldn't it be much simpler, more natural and straightforward to symbolize this as
>if A, then B
rather than
>if not A, then not B
?

Neither am I, or any of the people who I have seen do this when I've posted this topic before, I still don't get why you do this. One guy claimed he thought the structure in this particular case represented the natural reasoning or whatever, I don't get that.

It's pretty obvious that the first two are negations of the second two. You could refer to the first two as A and B if you wanted, but then you'd have refer to the second two as not A and not B, which is the opposite of how they're presented in natural language. I don't see why you're autistically screeching about this. My notation expresses the idea in an intelligable way, and that's all that matters.

>My notation expresses the idea in an intelligable way
No, because you didn't name the actual fallacy and present the structure. Show me an intelligible way that translates to denying the antecedent or affirming the consequent. One other guy got it structured into affirming the consequent in a way that was very convoluted, and yet he thought it was more natural than my very straightforward negating of both sides which makes it denying the antecedent.
if P, then Q
not P
therefore not Q
if (you don't eat your vegetables), then (you won't get any dessert)
(did eat my vegetables)
therefore (should get dessert)
The way you presented it is
if not (you eat your vegetables), then not(you will get dessert)
if not A, then not B
Show me how you proceed with that to denying the antecedent or affirming the consequent without going back to A=not A and B=not B.

Don't know what you're saying. Clearly me and the other guy structured/symbolized it differently, so already your point is refuted, no, "this" is not how everyone sees "this", regardless of what you meant by either "this", which remains unclear.

Giving children vegetables especially the store bought ones is literally children abuse, you're poisoning them on gunpoint.
Ever wonder why children don't want to eat vegeshit on their own? That's because humans automatically know they are bad and toxic. I have never seen a child not wanting steak or milk.

The fallacy is reversing the arrow.
In other words, the fallacy is exchanging, or swapping, the antecedent and the consequent.
Or the fallacy is taking the converse.

If the parent claims the child's argument is fallacious, and therefore the parent hasn't lied, then the parent commits the argument from fallacy fallacy. Thus the dessert should be forthcoming.
