I think part of the problem here is that you don't understand the expression. The expression: 15 <= x < 30 contains two conditions: 15 <= x x < 30 For the whole expression to be true, both conditions must be true, hence the equivalence is: (15 <= x) and (x < 30) to test this in python command line, see if the two different expressions give the same result for a suitable range of values of x: for x in range(50): if not (15 <= x < 30) == ((15 <= x) and (x < 30)): print "discrepancy" or for x in range(50): if (15 <= x < 30) == ((15 <= x) and (x < 30)): print "ok" -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
