2.1.3 Boolean Values and Condition Evaluation
Boolean values represent truth states in Python and are central to control flow.
Boolean Values
Python has two boolean values:
TrueFalse
These values are produced by comparisons and logical expressions.
Truth Evaluation
In conditional contexts:
Trueallows code to executeFalseprevents code from executing
Some values are implicitly treated as false, while others are treated as true.
Role in Control Flow
Boolean expressions are used to:
- Control program decisions
- Determine execution paths
- Enable conditional logic
📌 Note:
Understanding how Python evaluates truth values is essential before learning conditional statements.
