The logic that computers use is called Boolean logic, so called because it was invented by George Boole way back in the 1800s.
There are two Boolean values: True and False. I know, shocker.
- They can be created by comparing values, for example using the equal operator ==, the not equal operator !=, the greater than operator, etc.
- Btw, DO NOT confuse assignment (=) with comparison (==).
- Python’s Boolean operators are and, or, and not.
- And: Takes 2 arguments. It evaluates to True if both are True.
- Or: Takes 2 arguments. It evaluates to True if either or both are True.
- Not: Takes 1 argument, and inverts it. The result of not True is False, and not False goes to True.
Anyway, operator precedence is a very important. Python’s order of operations is the same as that of normal math: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
