Python Logical Operators

Python Logical operators are used to check various conditions .Logical operators always returns a boolean value . All the logical operators and their applications are shown below in the form of a table taking x and y as True and False .

Operator	Example	Description	Result
and	x and y	Returns True if both operands are True else False	False
or	x or y	Returns True if any of the operands is True else False	True
not	x not y	Returns True if the operand is False else False	False

Now we will see about all the logical operators in details with code –

Logical AND operator

Python Logical AND(and) operator returns True if both operands are True else returns False .

Example 1:

x = True
y = False
print("x and y =",x and y)

x and y = False

In the above code between x and y as both are not True , so it printed False in the output .

We can also refer the below table for logical AND operator .

Variable1	Variable2	Result
True	True	True
True	False	False
False	True	False
False	False	False

Logical OR operator

Python Logical OR(or) operator returns True if any of the operands is True else returns False .

Example 1:

print("x or y =",x or y)

x or y = True

In the above code between x and y as any one(here x) is True , so it printed True in the output .

We can also refer the below table for logical OR operator –

Variable1	Variable2	Result
True	True	True
True	False	True
False	True	True
False	False	False

Logical NOT operator

Python Logical NOT(not) operator returns True if the operand is False else returns False .

Example 1:

print("not x =",not x)
print("not y =",not y)

not x = False
not y = True

In the above code , in first case , as the value of x is True ,so not x returns False . In the second case , as the value of y is False , so not y returns True .

We can also refer the below table for logical NOT operator –

Variable	Result
True	False
False	True
