Python Booleans

In Python, Booleans are a fundamental data type used to represent the concepts of true and false.

They are written using the keywords True and False.

1is_active = True
2is_inactive = False

Booleans are often used in control flow statements, such as if and while loops, to determine whether a certain condition is true or false. They can also be used in comparison operations, such as greater than, less than, equal to, etc.

Python provides several built-in functions and methods for working with Booleans, such as bool() which converts a value to its Boolean representation, and logical operators such as and, or, and not that allow you to create more complex Boolean expressions.

1x = 5
2print(bool(x)) # Output: True
3print(x > 3 and x < 10) # Output: True

Ternary operator

you can use ternary operator to create a shorthand version of an if-else statement.

1is_active = True
2status = 'active' if is_active else 'inactive'
3print(status) # Output: 'active'
