BOOLEAN DATA TYPE 

The Boolean data type is a fundamental data type in computer programming that represents two possible values: true or false. Booleans are used to perform logical operations, make decisions, and control the flow of a program. The concept of Boolean data type is named after the mathematician and logician George Boole, who developed Boolean algebra.

In most programming languages, the Boolean data type is implemented as a primitive data type, which means it is built into the language and has a specific set of operations associated with it. In many languages, the values true and false are keywords that represent the Boolean literals.

Boolean values are commonly used in conditional statements, such as if-else statements or while loops, to control the execution of certain code blocks based on a condition. For example:

x = 5 y = 10 is_greater = x > y # The result of this comparison will be either True or False if is_greater: print("x is greater than y") else: print("x is not greater than y")

Boolean values can also be combined using logical operators such as AND, OR, and NOT to create more complex conditions. These operators allow you to evaluate multiple Boolean expressions and determine the overall truth value. Here's an example:
x = 5 y = 10 z = 3 is_greater = x > y # False is_between = x < z # False # Combining boolean values using logical operators result = is_greater and is_between # False if result: print("Both conditions are true") else: print("At least one condition is false")

In addition to programming, Boolean values and operations are widely used in database queries, search algorithms, and many other areas of computer science and mathematics where logic plays a crucial role.

COMPARISION EXPRESSION

COMPARISION EXPRESSION    In Python, comparison expressions are used to compare values and return a Boolean result (True or False) based on the comparison. Here are the commonly used comparison operators in Python: Equal to (==): Checks if two values are equal. Example: 5 == 5 evaluates to True . Not equal to (!=) : Checks if two values are not equal. Example: 5 != 3 evaluates to True. Greater than (>) : Checks if the left operand is greater than the right operand. Example: 5 > 3 evaluates to True. Less than (<): Checks if the left operand is less than the right operand. Example: 3 < 5 evaluates to True. Greater than or equal to (>=) : Checks if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand. Example: 5 >= 5 evaluates to True. Less than or equal to (<=) : Checks if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand. Example: 3 <= 5 evaluates to True. These comparison operators can be used with various data types,...

LOGICAL EXPRESSION

LOGICAL EXPRESSION    In Python, logical expressions are used to evaluate the truthiness or falsiness of a combination of conditions. Logical expressions involve the use of logical operators, such as "and", "or", and "not". These operators allow you to combine multiple conditions and evaluate them as a single Boolean result. Here are the logical operators in Python: Logical AND (and): Returns True if both conditions on the left and right are True. Example: x > 5 and y < 10 evaluates to True if x is greater than 5 and y is less than 10. Logical OR (or) : Returns True if at least one of the conditions on the left or right is True. Example: x > 5 or y < 10 evaluates to True if either x is greater than 5 or y is less than 10. Logical NOT (not): Reverses the truthiness of a single condition. If the condition is True, it returns False, and vice versa. Example: not x > 5 evaluates to True if x is not greater than 5. Here's an example ...
