Boolean data type

Another data type in Python - is boolean, or logical. It can take only 2 values - True or False or in terms of numbers 1 or 0 respectively. This data type is used when we need to check some logical condition and depends on that continue.

There are next logical operators you can use in comparison:

== equal
!= not equal
> greater than
< less than
>= greater-equal than
<= less-equal than

While using these operators you will receive output as a boolean value: True if the condition holds or False otherwise. For example, let's check some expressions


              123456
            
# check if 1 equals True
print(1 == True)
# check if "abc" equals "aBc"
print("abc" == 'aBc')
# check if 87*731 greater equal than 98*712
print(87*731 >= 98*712)
