1. What is a Boolean?<\/h2>\n

A Boolean<\/strong> means True or False<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Python, Boolean has only two values<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    True<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    False<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Booleans are used to make decisions<\/strong> in programs.<\/p>\n

    2. Creating Boolean Variables<\/h2>\n

    You can store True or False in a variable.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    is_raining = True<\/span>
    \nis_sunny = False<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(is_raining)
    \nprint<\/span>(is_sunny)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3. Boolean from Comparisons<\/h2>\n

    When you compare two values, Python returns True or False<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    a = 10<\/span>
    \nb = 5<\/span><\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(a > b) # True<\/span>
    \nprint<\/span>(a < b) # False<\/span>
    \nprint<\/span>(a == b) # False<\/span>
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    4. Boolean in if Statement<\/h2>\n

    Booleans are mostly used in if\u2013else<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    age = 18<\/span><\/p>\n

    if<\/span> age >= 18<\/span>:
    \n print<\/span>(\"You are an adult\"<\/span>)
    \nelse<\/span>:
    \n print<\/span>(\"You are a child\"<\/span>)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    5. Boolean from User Input<\/h2>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    password = \"python123\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    user_input = input<\/span>(\"Enter password: \"<\/span>)<\/p>\n

    print<\/span>(user_input == password)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Output will be True<\/code> or False<\/code>.<\/p>\n

    6. Boolean with Logical Operators<\/h2>\n

    Python has three logical operators:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      and<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      or<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      not<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      AND<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      age = 20<\/span>
      \nhas_id = True<\/span><\/p>\n

      print<\/span>(age >= 18<\/span> and<\/span> has_id)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      OR<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      is_weekend = False<\/span>
      \nis_holiday = True<\/span><\/p>\n

      print<\/span>(is_weekend or<\/span> is_holiday)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      NOT<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      is_logged_in = False<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(not<\/span> is_logged_in)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      7. Using bool()<\/code> Function<\/h2>\n

      The bool()<\/code> function converts values into True or False.<\/p>\n

      Examples<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      print<\/span>(bool<\/span>(1<\/span>)) # True<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(bool<\/span>(0<\/span>)) # False<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(bool<\/span>(\"Hi\"<\/span>)) # True<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(bool<\/span>(\"\"<\/span>)) # False<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      8. Common Beginner Mistakes<\/h2>\n

      \u274c Using Wrong Case<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      true
      \nfalse
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \u2714 Correct:<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      True<\/span>
      \nFalse<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \u274c Using =<\/code> Instead of ==<\/code><\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      if<\/span> x = 5<\/span>:
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \u2714 Correct:<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      if<\/span> x == 5<\/span>:
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      9. Simple Practice Examples<\/h2>\n

      Example 1: Check Even or Odd<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      num = 8<\/span><\/p>\n

      print<\/span>(num % 2<\/span> == 0<\/span>)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Example 2: Login Check<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      username = \"admin\"<\/span>
      \npassword = \"1234\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      user = input<\/span>(\"Username: \"<\/span>)
      \npwd = input<\/span>(\"Password: \"<\/span>)<\/p>\n

      if<\/span> user == username and<\/span> pwd == password:
      \n print<\/span>(\"Login successful\"<\/span>)
      \nelse<\/span>:
      \n print<\/span>(\"Login failed\"<\/span>)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Example 3: Age Check<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      age = int<\/span>(input<\/span>(\"Enter age: \"<\/span>))<\/p>\n

      print<\/span>(age >= 18<\/span>)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
