Python Logical Operators

In Python, Logical operators are used to test multiple conditions. It usually returns True or False. Logical Operators include and, or, not.

Syntax

expression1 and expression2 
expression1 or expression2
not expression

Example

# and operator
x = 5
print(x > 2 and x < 10)

# or operator
x = 5
print(x < 4 or x > 8)

# not operator
x = 5
print(not(x > 3 and x < 10))

Output

True
True
False

Explanation

• and operator returns true if both the statements are true
• or operator returns true if either of the statement is true
• not operator reverses the logical state of the operand

Use

Logical operators are used to test multiple conditions and perform logical operations. They are widely used in conditions and loops.

Important points

• and operator return True if all conditions are True
• or operator returns True if at least one condition is True
• not operator returns False if the condition is True

Summary

Logical operators are an important part of Python's conditional and looping statements. It helps in combining and evaluating multiple conditions, which makes the program more flexible and efficient.
