2.1.2 Logical Operators (and / or / not)

Logical operators are used to combine or modify boolean expressions.
They allow more complex conditions to be evaluated.


Logical Operators in Python

Python provides three logical operators:

  • and : True if both conditions are True
  • or : True if at least one condition is True
  • not : Reverses the boolean value

Logical Evaluation

  • Logical expressions are evaluated from left to right
  • Python uses short-circuit evaluation
  • Logical operators always return a boolean result in conditional contexts

Common Use Cases

  • Combining multiple conditions
  • Checking ranges and constraints
  • Creating readable decision logic

📌 Note:
Clear logical expressions improve both correctness and readability.
