Python Operators are symbols/words that tell the Python Interpreter to perform or execute certain manipulation tasks. The logical operators are used to combine multiple boolean statements.
There are three logical operators in Python.
- and
- or
- not
Python Logical Operators Flowchart
The below image depicts the flowchart of the logical operators.
Logical AND Operator in Python
The statement returns to be true when both the statements/conditions are true.
Example:
a=20
b=10
if a > 0 and b > 0
print("Both a and b are positive numbers.")
Output: Both a and b are positive numbers.
Logical OR Operator in Python
The statement returns to be true when either of the statements/conditions is true.
Example:
a=20
b= -10
if a > 0 or b > 0
print("True")
Output: True
Logical NOT Operator in Python
This operator works with a single value. It reverses the result i.e. if the statement is true, the not operator will turn the statement to false and vice-versa.
Example:
a=50
print(not(a % 4 or a > 0))
Output: False
In the above example, the condition a % 4 or a > 0 evaluates to True. But, as we have used a not statement, it reverses the result i.e. it provided the result as False.
