I'm trying to understand the logic behind AND. I looked up Python logic tables False and False gives False False and True gives False True and False gives False True and True gives True. So does that mean that the way 'and' works in Python is that both terms must be True (1) for the entire expression to be True ? Why is it defined that way, weird ? I was always under the impression that 'and' means that when you have both terms the same, ie either True and True or False and False , then it gives True
No, that would actually be an xnor (not xor) operation, a fairly rare usage case. Python doesn't even provide an operator for that, the closest thing would be (bool(x) == bool(y)).
"And" means "and". This is true AND that is true. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology -- www.highlandtechnology.com Email address domain is currently out of order. See above to fix. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
