Logical operators combine multiple boolean expressions into one. Python has three logical operators: and, or, and not. The "and" operator returns True only if both conditions are True. The "or" operator returns True if at least one condition is True. The "not" operator reverses a boolean value — True becomes False and False becomes True. These operators are the building blocks of complex decision-making in your code.
Key Points
and returns True only when both sides are True.
or returns True when at least one side is True.
not flips a boolean: not True → False.
Logical operators work with any expressions that produce booleans.
They are commonly used in if statements to check multiple conditions.
Python evaluates left to right and uses short-circuit evaluation.
