3.2 Boolean Operations -- and, or, not
3.2 Boolean Operations --
and, or, not
These are the Boolean operations, ordered by ascending priority:
| Operation |
Result |
Notes |
x or y |
if x is false, then y, else x |
(1) |
x and y |
if x is false, then x, else y |
(1) |
not x |
if x is false, then True, else False |
(2) |
Notes:
- (1)
- These only evaluate their second argument if needed for their outcome.
- (2)
- "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.
Release 2.5, documentation updated on 19th September, 2006.
