Boolean and Logic Exercises

Booleans represent True/False values and are fundamental to all conditional logic in programming.

Key Concepts

Boolean Values

• True and False (note the capitalization)
• Result of comparisons: 5 > 3 returns True
• Result of logical operations

Logical Operators

• and - both must be True
• or - at least one must be True
• not - reverses the value

Truthiness in Python

Values that are considered False:

• False, None, 0, 0.0, "", [], {}, set()

Everything else is considered True.

Comparison Operators

• == equal, != not equal
• <, <=, >, >=
• is (identity), in (membership)

Tips

• Use parentheses for complex conditions
• Take advantage of short-circuit evaluation
• Remember that = assigns, == compares
• Empty collections are falsy, non-empty are truthy
