Boolean Data Type
Welcome to section three! In this section, we'll dive into another Python data type: the boolean or logical type. Booleans can only have one of two values: True
or False
. This data type comes into play when evaluating logical conditions.
Here are the logical operators for comparison:
==
equal to;!=
not equal to;>
greater than;<
less than;>=
greater than or equal to;<=
less than or equal to;
When you apply these operators, the result will be a boolean value: True
if the condition is met, and False
if it isn't. For instance, consider the following evaluations:
What do the results above signify? The first True
indicates that 1
is equal to 1
(which is self-evident); the second False
suggests that the strings "abc"
and "aBc"
differ due to the case sensitivity of the letter 'b'. The final False
implies that 87*731
isn't greater than or equal to 98*712
. In fact, 63597
is less than 69776
.
Task
Now, let's evaluate the following:
- Is
765*43
less than or equal to456*78
? - Is the string
"text"
not the same as"TEXT"
? - Does the string length of
"Python"
equal6
?
Everything was clear?
