    Study Notes

    Boolean Values in Python

    • In Python, there are several built-in objects considered "falsy" and evaluated as False in a boolean context.
    • Falsy objects include:
      • Constants defined to be false: None and False
      • Zero of any numeric type: 0, 0.0, 0j, Decimal(0), Fraction(0, 1)
      • Empty sequences and collections: '', (), [], {}, set(), range(0)
    • An object's boolean value can also be defined by its class using the bool() method.
    • If a class does not define bool(), Python calls len() method, where an object is False if its length is zero.

    If Statements in Python

    • If statements allow us to tell the computer to perform alternative actions based on a certain set of results.
    • Verbally, we can imagine we are telling the computer: "Hey if this case happens, perform some action."
    • If statements can be expanded with elif and else statements to perform different actions based on different conditions.

    Syntax Format for If Statements

    • The syntax format for if statements is:
    if case1:
    perform action1
elif case2:
    perform action2
else:
    perform action3

    Comparison Operators in Python

    • Comparison operators in Python compare the values on either side of them and determine the relation between them.
    • The result of these comparisons is a boolean value, either True or False.
    • Examples of comparison operators include:
      • > (greater than)
      • < (less than)
      • == (equal to)
      • != (not equal to)

    Logical Operations in Python

    • Logical operators in Python include and and or.
    • The and operator returns True if both operands are True.
    • The or operator returns True if at least one of the operands is True.
    • Examples of logical operations include:
      • print(True and True) # Returns True
      • print(True or True) # Returns True
      • print(True and False) # Returns False
      • print(True or False) # Returns True

    Boolean Conversion

    • The bool() function is used to convert a value to a boolean (True or False).
    • By default, most objects are considered True.
    • Boolean conversion can help you see what if is related to what elif or else statements.
