How to Use “and” and “or” in Python?

Python's “and” and “or” operators allow you to test various assumptions and base decisions on the veracity of those assumptions.

• If both conditions are True, the “and” operator returns True; otherwise, it returns False.
• If either of the conditions is True, the “or” operator returns True; if not, it returns False.

In Python, the “and” operator tests multiple assumptions and returns True if every assumption is True or False otherwise. The syntax is:

expression1 and expression2

Where any legitimate Python expressions can be used for expressions 1 and 2. Expression2 is tested, and its outcome is returned if the expression1 evaluates to True. Expression1 is returned without evaluating Expression2 if expression1 is False.

a = 10
b = 20


if a > 5 and b > 5:
    print("Both conditions are True")
else:
    print("One of the conditions is False")

Because both a > 5 and b > 5 are True, this code will print 'Both conditions are True'.

Python “or” operator tests multiple assumptions and returns True if any of them are True and False otherwise. As for the syntax:

expression1 or expression2

Where any legitimate Python expressions can be used for expressions 1 and 2. Expression1 is returned if expression1 evaluates to True without first analyzing expression2. Expression2 is tested, and its outcome is returned if expression1 returns False. Here's an illustration:

a = 5
b = 20


if a > 10 or b > 10:
    print("At least one of the conditions is True")
else:
    print("Both conditions are False")

Because b > 10 is True, this code will output 'At least one of the conditions is True'
