Python Booleans

Booleans in Python represent truth values. They can have two values: True and False. Booleans are commonly used in conditional statements and loops to control the flow of the program.

Boolean Values

In Python, the True and False values are keywords that represent the boolean values of true and false, respectively.

is_student = True
is_teacher = False

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two values and return a boolean result. Some common comparison operators include == (equal to), != (not equal to), < (less than),> (greater than), <= (less than or equal to), and >= (greater than or equal to).

x = 5
y = 10
is_greater = x > y  # False

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine multiple boolean values or expressions. The three main logical operators in Python are and, or, and not.

is_student = True
is_teacher = False
is_person = is_student or is_teacher  # True

Boolean Functions

Python also has built-in functions that return boolean values, such as isinstance() and hasattr(). These functions are often used to check the type of an object or if an object has a specific attribute.

x = 5
is_integer = isinstance(x, int)  # True

Conclusion

Booleans are a fundamental part of Python and are used extensively in programming to control the flow of the program based on certain conditions. By understanding how to use booleans and boolean operators, you can write more complex and powerful programs in Python.
