Logical Operators

What are Logical Operators? #

Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements. This means that the program can take a decision based on multiple conditions. You will learn more about conditional statements later. But for now, suffice it to say, that conditional statements are those that can either be true or false.

Types of Logical Operators #

There are two logical operators:

• && or and
• || or or

The And Operator #

The and or && operator returns true if all the statements are true and false if one or more statements are false. Say we have two statements a and b. The following table illustrates this behavior.

a	b	a&&b or a and b
true	true	true
true	false	false
false	true	false
false	false	false

Run the code below to see how this works.
