LESSON #3

LOGICAL OPERATORS

Python Logical Operators

• Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements (which we will learn about later!)

and

• Combines two statements that are both true

or

• One of the statements is true

not

• Reverse the result, returns False if the result is True

What is the difference between the == and = operators in Python?

Difference between == and =

• In Python, the == operator is used for comparison and checks if two values are equal, whereas the = operator is used for assignment and assigns a value to a variable.
• For example, if we want to check if two variables x and y have the same value, we would use the == operator like this:

x = 5

y = 5

print(x==y) # This would print True!

• On the other hand, if we want to assign the value of 5 to the variable x, we would use the = operator like this:

x = 5

It is important to note that using = instead of == in a comparison statement can result in unintended consequences or errors.

#COMPARISONS

>>> print(2 != 2)

​

>>> print(4 >= 2)

​

>>> print(“Hi” == “Hello”)

​

>>> print(10 < 11)

​

​

False

True

False

True

Now Let’s Add

Logical Operators!

#COMPARISONS

x = 5

>>> print(x > 3 and x < 10)

​

>>> print(x > 3 or x < 4)

​

>>> print(x >= 7 and x < 3)

​

>>> print(x <= 3 or x >= 5)
