Boolean Operators in Python

The document outlines the three main Boolean operations: 'or', 'and', and 'not', detailing their results and evaluation rules. It emphasizes that 'or' and 'and' are short-circuit operators, evaluating the second argument only when necessary. Additionally, it notes the priority of 'not' in relation to non-Boolean operators, affecting how expressions are interpreted.

Boolean Operations — and, or, not

These are the Boolean operations, ordered by ascending priority:

Operation

Result

Notes

x or y

if x is true, then x, else y

(1)

x and y

if x is false, then x, else y

(2)

not x

if x is false, then True, else False

(3)

Notes:

This is a short-circuit operator, so it only evaluates the second argument if the first one is false.

This is a short-circuit operator, so it only evaluates the second argument if the first one is true.

not has a lower priority than non-Boolean operators, so not a == b is interpreted as not (a == b), and a
== not b is a syntax error.
