HI all, I'm a bit stuck with how to work out boolian logic.
I'd like to say if A is not equal to B, C or D:
do something.
I've tried
if not var == A or B or C:
and various permutations but can't seem to get my head around it. I'm
pretty sure I need to know what is calulated first i.e the not or the
'OR/AND's
if A not in (B, C, D):
...
"or" has less priority than not, and all boolean operators have less
priority than comparisons. So your expression above reads as:
if (not (var==A)) or B or C
and the three or'ed expressions are evaluated from left to right
(short-circuit: stop as soon as any true value is found).
Evaluation order is defined in the Reference Manual, see
<http://docs.python.org/ref/expressions.html> in particular, operator
precedence is summarized in <http://docs.python.org/ref/summary.html>
