Using the Python and Operator (Summary)
Python’s and
operator allows you to construct compound Boolean expressions that you can use to decide the course of action of your programs. You can use the and
operator to solve several problems both in Boolean or non-Boolean contexts. Learning about how to use the and
operator properly can help you write more Pythonic code.
In this video course, you learned how to:
- Work with Python’s
and
operator - Build Boolean and non-Boolean expressions with Python’s
and
operator - Decide the course of action of your programs using the
and
operator in Boolean contexts - Make your code more concise using the
and
operator in non-Boolean contexts

- Using the “not” Boolean Operator in Python
Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course! What’s your #1 takeaway or favorite thing you learned? How are you going to put your newfound skills to use? Leave a comment in the discussion section and let us know.
00:00 That brings us to the end of this course.

Let’s look at everything you learned. You learned that the and
of two expressions is True
only when both expressions themselves are True
.
00:13
You created expressions using and
with both Boolean and non-Boolean parts,
00:18
discovered the Boolean concepts, like if
statements and while
loops, where and
can be used, and you learned ways of writing more effective code with and
in other contexts, as well.

Real Python has additional resources for the other Boolean operators, or
and not
, and links to some of those are below. I hope you enjoyed this course and hope to see you in another one here at Real Python.
