Python not keyword

not is a keyword (case-sensitive) in python, it is a logical operator actually, it is used with a single operand, it returns True – if the condition evaluated to False and returns False – if the condition evaluated to True.

In other words, we can say, if the condition is True – it returns False and if the condition is False – it returns True.

Truth table for "not" keyword/operator

Syntax of not keyword/operator:

    not(condition)

Example:

    Input:

Python examples of not operator

Example1: Take a number and test the conditions using not operator

a = 10

# printing return values
print(not(a == 10))
print(not(a != 10))
print(not(a > 10))
print(not(a < 10))

Output

Example 2: Input any number and print its square, if number is not 0

# Input any number and print its square, 
# if number is not 0

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

# checking the condition and 
# calculate square
if not(num==0):
    square = num*num;
    print("Square of ", num, " is = ", square)
else:
    print("An invalid input.")
