Logical AND (&&) in Python
David Y.
The Problem
What is the Python equivalent of the logical AND (&&) operator in an expression? This code does not work:
initialized = True fully_stocked = True if initialized && fully_stocked: run()
The Solution
Unlike Java or C, Python uses the word and to represent the logical AND.
initialized = True fully_stocked = True if initialized and fully_stocked: run()
The same is true for other common logical operators. Instead of using ||, Python uses the word or to represent the logical OR.
initialized = True fully_stocked = True if initialized or fully_stocked: run()
Instead of using !, Python uses the word not to represent the logical NOT.
initialized = True fully_stocked = True if not initialized: abort()
