What Are Python Logical Operators?

All programming languages have their own syntax or structure in which the way commands tell the code what to do. Despite the variations in these syntaxes, all programming languages still depend on basic concepts such as:

• Arithmetic operators

• Logical operators

• Relational operators

• Bitwise operators

Let's take a quick look at logical operators.

Logical operators are the AND, OR, and NOT operators. They are typically used with comparison operators but are not restricted to that.

For instance, a logical operator could be used with an IF statement where you need to compare values of two different variables, then perform an action if those requirements are met.

If (X == 0 AND Y==0) Then doSomeThings

In this case, both X and Y need to equal 0 for that IF statement to be true. If only one value needs to meet that criteria, you could use the OR operator instead. Likewise, if you need to perform an operation if X is equal to any value but 0, you could use the NOT operator.
