That's a great challenge! Combining not, and, and or allows you to create very specific logic for your programs.
Remember the Order of Precedence:
not(Highest)andor(Lowest)
Let's try a practical example. Imagine we are writing logic for a security system where a door opens if:
- You have a badge AND it is not expired.
- OR you are an admin.
You can test this by updating your operators_example.py file with this code:
is_admin = False
has_badge = True
is_expired = False
# Logic: (Has badge AND is NOT expired) OR is an admin
can_enter = (has_badge and not is_expired) or is_admin
print(f"Can enter: {can_enter}")
Breakdown of how Python evaluates this:
not is_expired: Sinceis_expiredisFalse, this becomesTrue.has_badge and True: Sincehas_badgeisTrue, this becomesTrue.True or is_admin: Since at least one side of theorisTrue, the entire result isTrue.
Try this experiment:
Change is_admin = True and has_badge = False. The result will still be True because the or condition is satisfied!
Would you like to try writing a specific logic rule yourself? I can help you check if it's correct
