Python and keyword

Truth table for "and" keyword/operator

Condition1	Condition2	(Condition1 and Condition2)
True		True		True 
True 		False		False
False		True		False
False 		False		False

Syntax of and keyword/operator:

    condition1 and condition2

Example:

    Input:
    a = 10
    b = 20

    # conditions
    print(a>=10 and b>=20)
    print(a>10 and b>20)

    Output:
    True
    False

Python examples of and operator

Example1: Take two numbers and test the conditions using and operator

# python code to demonstrate example of
# and keyword/operator

a = 10
b = 20

# printing return values
print(a>=10 and b>=20)
print(a>10 and b>20)
print(a==10 and b==20)
print(a==10 and b!=20)

Output

True
False
True
False

Example 2: Input age and check whether it is teenage or not

# Input age and check teenage or not

# input 
age = int(input("Enter age: "))

# condition
if age>=13 and age<=19:
    print("Yes ", age, " is a teenage")
else:
    print("No ", age, " is not a teenage")

Output

First run:
Enter age: 17
Yes  17  is a teenage

Second run:
Enter age: 21
No  21  is not a teenage

if ch>='A' and ch<='Z':
    print("\'", ch, "\' is an uppercase alphabet")
else:
    print("\'", ch, "\' is not an uppercase alphabet")
