In Python, the Boolean data type represents truth values, which are either True or False. Boolean values are commonly used in conditional statements and expressions to control the flow of a program.

Here's a brief overview of Boolean data type and logical operators in Python:

1. **Boolean Data Type**: In Python, the Boolean data type has two possible values: True and False. These are keywords in Python and must be capitalized.



x = True

y = False


2. **Logical Operators**: Python provides three main logical operators for working with Boolean values: `and`, `or`, and `not`.

- `and`: Returns True if both operands are True.
- `or`: Returns True if at least one of the operands is True.
- `not`: Returns the opposite Boolean value of the operand.



# and operator

print(True and True)   # Output: True

print(True and False)  # Output: False

# or operator

print(True or False)   # Output: True

print(False or False)  # Output: False

# not operator

print(not True)        # Output: False

print(not False)       # Output: True


3. **Comparison Operators**: Comparison operators (`<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`, `==`, `!=`) are often used to compare values and produce Boolean results.


x = 5

y = 10

print(x < y)   # Output: True

print(x == y)  # Output: False


4. **Boolean Context**: In Python, any object can be tested for truth value. Certain values such as empty sequences (`'', [], {}`), numbers equal to 0, and `None` are considered False in Boolean context. Everything else is considered True.



print(bool(0))      # Output: False

print(bool(10))     # Output: True

print(bool([]))     # Output: False

print(bool([1,2]))  # Output: True


Understanding Boolean data type and logical operators is fundamental for writing conditional statements and controlling the flow of your Python programs.
