Watch Now This tutorial has a related video course created by the Real Python team. Watch it together with the written tutorial to deepen your understanding: Using the Python and Operator

Python has three Boolean operators, or logical operators: and, or, and not. You can use them to check if certain conditions are met before deciding the execution path your programs will follow. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about the and operator and how to use it in your code.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the logic behind Python’s and operator
  • Build and understand Boolean and non-Boolean expressions that use the and operator
  • Use the and operator in Boolean contexts to decide the course of action of your programs
  • Use the and operator in non-Boolean contexts to make your code more concise

You’ll also code a few practical examples that will help you understand how to use the and operator to approach different problems in a Pythonic way. Even if you don’t use all the features of and, learning about them will allow you to write better and more accurate code.

Working With Boolean Logic in Python

Back in 1854, George Boole authored The Laws of Thought, which contains what’s known as Boolean algebra. This algebra relies on two values: true and false. It also defines a set of Boolean operations, also known as logical operations, denoted by the generic operators AND, OR, and NOT.

These Boolean values and operators are pretty helpful in programming. For example, you can construct arbitrarily complex Boolean expressions with the operators and determine their resulting truth value as true or false. You can use the truth value of Boolean expressions to decide the course of action of your programs.

In Python, the Boolean type bool is a subclass of int and can take the values True or False:

Python
>>> issubclass(bool, int)
True
>>> help(bool)
Help on class bool in module builtins:

class bool(int)
    ...

>>> type(True)
<class 'bool'>
>>> type(False)
<class 'bool'>

>>> isinstance(True, int)
True
>>> isinstance(False, int)
True

>>> int(True)
1
>>> int(False)
0

As you can see in this code, Python implements bool as a subclass of int with two possible values, True and False. These values are built-in constants in Python. They’re internally implemented as integer numbers with the value 1 for True and 0 for False. Note that both True and False must be capitalized.

Along with the bool type, Python provides three Boolean operators, or logical operators, that allow you to combine Boolean expressions and objects into more elaborate expressions. Those operators are the following:

Operator Logical Operation
and Conjunction
or Disjunction
not Negation

With these operators, you can connect several Boolean expressions and objects to build your own expressions. Unlike other languages, Python uses English words to denote Boolean operators. These words are keywords of the language, so you can’t use them as identifiers.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn about Python’s and operator. This operator implements the logical AND operation. You’ll learn how it works and how to use it either in a Boolean or non-Boolean context.

Getting Started With Python’s and Operator

Python’s and operator takes two operands, which can be Boolean expressions, objects, or a combination. With those operands, the and operator builds more elaborate expressions. The operands in an and expression are commonly known as conditions. If both conditions are true, then the and expression returns a true result. Otherwise, it returns a false result:

Python
>>> True and True
True

>>> False and False
False

>>> True and False
False

>>> False and True
False

These examples show that an and expression only returns True when both operands in the expressions are true. Since the and operator takes two operands to build an expression, it’s a binary operator.

The quick examples above show what’s known as the and operator’s truth table:

operand1 operand2 operand1 and operand2
True True True
True False False
False False False
False True False

This table summarizes the resulting truth value of a Boolean expression like operand1 and operand2. The result of the expression depends on the truth values of its operands. It’ll be true if both are true. Otherwise, it’ll be false. This is the general logic behind the and operator. However, this operator can do more than that in Python.

In the following sections, you’ll learn how to use and for building your own expressions with different types of operands.

Using Python’s and Operator With Boolean Expressions

You’ll typically use logical operators to build compound Boolean expressions, which are combinations of variables and values that produce a Boolean value as a result. In other words, Boolean expressions return True or False.

Comparisons and equality tests are common examples of this type of expression:

Python
>>> 5 == 3 + 2
True
>>> 5 > 3
True
>>> 5 < 3
False
>>> 5 != 3
True

>>> [5, 3] == [5, 3]
True

>>> "hi" == "hello"
False

All these expressions return True or False, which means they’re Boolean expressions. You can combine them using the and keyword to create compound expressions that test two—or more–subexpressions at a time:

Python
>>> 5 > 3 and 5 == 3 + 2
True

>>> 5 < 3 and 5 == 5
False

>>> 5 == 5 and 5 != 5
False

>>> 5 < 3 and 5 != 5
False

Here, when you combine two True expressions, you get True as a result. Any other combination returns False. From these examples, you can conclude that the syntax for creating compound Boolean expressions with the and operator is the following:

Python
expression1 and expression2

If both subexpressions expression1 and expression2 evaluate to True, then the compound expression is True. If at least one subexpression evaluates to False, then the result is False.

There’s no limit to the number of and operators you can use when you’re building a compound expression. This means that you can combine more than two subexpressions in a single expression using several and operators:

Python
>>> 5 > 3 and 5 == 3 + 2 and 5 != 3
True

>>> 5 < 3 and 5 == 3 and 5 != 3
False

Again, if all the subexpressions evaluate to True, then you get True. Otherwise, you get False. Especially as expressions get longer, you should keep in mind that Python evaluates the expressions sequentially from left to right.

Short-Circuiting the Evaluation

Python’s logical operators, such as and and or, use something called short-circuit evaluation, or lazy evaluation. In other words, Python evaluates the operand on the right only when it needs to.

To determine the final result of an and expression, Python starts by evaluating the left operand. If it’s false, then the whole expression is false. In this situation, there’s no need to evaluate the operand on the right. Python already knows the final result.

Having a false left operand automatically makes the whole expression false. It would be a waste of CPU time to evaluate the remaining operand. Python prevents this by short-circuiting the evaluation.

In contrast, the and operator evaluates the operand on the right only if the first operand is true. In this case, the final result depends on the right operand’s truth value. If it’s true, then the whole expression is true. Otherwise, the expression is false.

To demonstrate the short-circuiting feature, take a look at the following examples:

Python
>>> def true_func():
...     print("Running true_func()")
...     return True
...

>>> def false_func():
...     print("Running false_func()")
...     return False
...

>>> true_func() and false_func()  # Case 1
Running true_func()
Running false_func()
False

>>> false_func() and true_func()  # Case 2
Running false_func()
False

>>> false_func() and false_func()  # Case 3
Running false_func()
False

>>> true_func() and true_func()  # Case 4
Running true_func()
Running true_func()
True

Here’s how this code works:

  • Case 1: Python evaluates true_func(), which returns True. To determine the final result, Python evaluates false_func() and gets False. You can confirm this by seeing both functions’ output.
  • Case 2: Python evaluates false_func(), which returns False. Python already knows that the final result is False, so it doesn’t evaluate true_func().
  • Case 3: Python runs false_func() and gets False as a result. It doesn’t need to evaluate the repeated function a second time.
  • Case 4: Python evaluates true_func() and gets True as a result. It then evaluates the function again. Since both operands evaluate to True, the final result is True.

Python processes Boolean expressions from left to right. It stops when it no longer needs to evaluate any further operands or subexpressions to determine the final outcome. To sum up this concept, you should remember that if the left operand in an and expression is false, then the right operand won’t be evaluated.

Short-circuit evaluation can have a significant impact on your code’s performance. To take advantage of that, consider the following tips when you’re building and expressions:

  • Place time-consuming expressions on the right of the and keyword. This way, the costly expression won’t run if the short-circuit rule takes effect.
  • Place the expression that is more likely to be false on the left of the and keyword. This way, it’s more likely that Python can determine if the whole expression is false by evaluating the left operand only.

Sometimes you may want to avoid lazy evaluation in a specific Boolean expression. You can do so by using the bitwise operators (&, |, ~). These operators also work in Boolean expressions, but they evaluate the operands eagerly:

Python
>>> def true_func():
...     print("Running true_func()")
...     return True
...

>>> def false_func():
...     print("Running false_func()")
...     return False
...

>>> # Use logical and
>>> false_func() and true_func()
Running false_func()
False

>>> # Use bitwise and
>>> false_func() & true_func()
Running false_func()
Running true_func()
False

In the first expression, the and operator works lazily, as expected. It evaluates the first function, and since the result is false, it doesn’t evaluate the second function. In the second expression, however, the bitwise AND operator (&) calls both functions eagerly even though the first function returns False. Note that in both cases, the final result is False.

Even though this trick works, it’s generally discouraged. You should use bitwise operators to manipulate bits, and Boolean operators to work with Boolean values and expressions. For a deeper dive into bitwise operators, check out Bitwise Operators in Python.

Using Python’s and Operator With Common Objects

You can use the and operator to combine two Python objects in a single expression. In that situation, Python internally uses bool() to determine the truth value of the operands. As a result, you get a specific object rather than a Boolean value. You only get True or False if a given operand explicitly evaluates to True or False:

Python
>>> 2 and 3
3

>>> 5 and 0.0
0.0

>>> [] and 3
[]

>>> 0 and {}
0

>>> False and ""
False

In these examples, the and expression returns the operand on the left if it evaluates to False. Otherwise, it returns the operand on the right. To produce these results, the and operator uses Python’s internal rules to determine an object’s truth value. The Python documentation states these rules like this:

By default, an object is considered true unless its class defines either a __bool__() method that returns False or a __len__() method that returns zero, when called with the object. Here are most of the built-in objects considered false:

  • constants defined to be false: None and False.
  • zero of any numeric type: 0, 0.0, 0j, Decimal(0), Fraction(0, 1)
  • empty sequences and collections: '', (), [], {}, set(), range(0)

(Source)

With these rules in mind, look again at the code above. In the first example, the integer number 2 is true (nonzero), so and returns the right operand, 3. In the second example, 5 is true, so and returns the right operand even though it evaluates to False.

The next example uses an empty list ([]) as the left operand. Since empty lists evaluate to false, the and expression returns the empty list. The only case where you get True or False is the one where you use a Boolean object explicitly in the expression.

Here’s how you can summarize the behavior of the and operator when you use it with common Python objects instead of Boolean expressions. Note that Python uses the truth value of each object to determine the final result:

object1 object2 object1 and object2
False False object1
False True object1
True True object2
True False object2

In general, if the operands in an and expression are objects instead of Boolean expressions, then the operator returns the object on the left if it evaluates to False. Otherwise, it returns the object on the right, even when it evaluates to False.

Mixing Boolean Expressions and Objects

You can also combine Boolean expressions and common Python objects within an and expression. In that situation, the and expression still returns the left operand if it’s false, or else it returns the right operand. The returned value could be True, False, or a regular object, depending on which part of the expression provides that result:

Python
>>> 2 < 4 and 2
2
>>> 2 and 2 < 4
True

>>> 2 < 4 and []
[]
>>> [] and 2 < 4
[]

>>> 5 > 10 and {}
False
>>> {} and 5 > 10
{}

>>> 5 > 10 and 4
False
>>> 4 and 5 > 10
False

These examples use a combination of Boolean expressions and common objects. In each pair of examples, you see that you can get either a non-Boolean object or a Boolean value, True or False. The result will depend on which part of the expression provides the final result.

Here’s a table that summarizes the behavior of the and operator when you combine Boolean expressions and common Python objects:

expression object expression and object
True True object
True False object
False False False
False True False

To find out what’s returned, Python evaluates the Boolean expression on the left to get its Boolean value (True or False). Then Python uses its internal rules to determine the truth value of the object on the right.

As an exercise to test your understanding, you could try to rewrite this table by swapping the order of the operands in the third column to object and expression. Try to predict what will be returned in each row.

Combining Python Logical Operators

As you’ve seen earlier in this tutorial, Python provides two additional logical operators: the or operator and the not operator. You can use them along with the and operator to create more complex compound expressions. If you want to make accurate and clear expressions with multiple logical operators, then you need to consider the precedence of each operator. In other words, you need to consider the order in which Python executes them.

Python’s logical operators have low precedence when compared with other operators. However, sometimes it’s healthy to use a pair of parentheses (()) to ensure a consistent and readable result:

Python
>>> 5 or 2 and 2 > 1
5

>>> (5 or 3) and 2 > 1
True

These examples combine the or operator and the and operator in a compound expression. Just like the and operator, the or operator uses short-circuit evaluation. Unlike and, however, the or operator stops once it finds a true operand. You can see this in the first example. Since 5 is true, the or subexpression immediately returns 5 without evaluating the rest of the expression.

In contrast, if you enclose the or subexpression in a pair of parentheses, then it works as a single true operand, and 2 > 1 gets evaluated as well. The final result is True.

The takeaway is that if you’re using multiple logical operators in a single expression, then you should consider using parentheses to make your intentions clear. This trick will also help you get the correct logical result.

Using Python’s and Operator in Boolean Contexts

Like all of Python’s Boolean operators, the and operator is especially useful in Boolean contexts. Boolean contexts are where you’ll find most of the real-world use cases of Boolean operators.

Two main structures define Boolean contexts in Python:

  1. if statements let you perform conditional execution and take different courses of action based on the result of some initial conditions.
  2. while loops let you perform conditional iteration and run repetitive tasks while a given condition is true.

These two structures are part of what you’d call control flow statements. They help you decide your programs’ execution path.

You can use Python’s and operator to construct compound Boolean expressions in both if statements and while loops.

if Statements

Boolean expressions are commonly known as conditions because they typically imply the need for meeting a given requirement. They’re pretty useful in the context of conditional statements. In Python, this type of statement starts with the if keyword and continues with a condition. A conditional statement can additionally include elif and else clauses.

Python conditional statements follow the logic of conditionals in English grammar. If the condition is true, then the if code block executes. Otherwise, the execution jumps to a different code block:

Python
>>> a = -8

>>> if a < 0:
...     print("a is negative")
... elif a > 0:
...     print("a is positive")
... else:
...     print("a is equal to 0")
...
a is negative

Since a holds a negative number, the condition a < 0 is true. The if code block runs, and you get the message a is negative printed on your screen. If you change the value of a to a positive number, however, then the elif block runs and Python prints a is positive. Finally, if you set a to zero, then the else code block executes. Go ahead and play with a to see what happens!

Now say you want to make sure that two conditions are met—meaning that they’re both true—before running a certain piece of code. To try this out, suppose you need to get the age of a user running your script, process that information, and display to the user their current life stage.

Fire up your favorite code editor or IDE and create the following script:

Python
# age.py

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

if age >= 0 and age <= 9:
    print("You are a child!")
elif age > 9 and age <= 18:
    print("You are an adolescent!")
elif age > 18 and age <= 65:
    print("You are an adult!")
elif age > 65:
    print("Golden ages!")

Here, you get the user’s age using input() and then convert it to an integer number with int(). The if clause checks if age is greater than or equal to 0. In the same clause, it checks if age is less than or equal to 9. To do this, you build an and compound Boolean expression.

The three elif clauses check other intervals to determine the life stage associated with the user’s age.

If you run this script from your command line, then you get something like this:

Shell
$ python age.py
Enter your age: 25
You are an adult!

Depending on the age you enter at the command line, the script takes one course of action or another. In this specific example, you provide an age of 25 years and get the message You are an adult! printed to your screen.

while Loops

The while loop is the second construct that can use and expressions to control a program’s execution flow. By using the and operator in the while statement header, you can test several conditions and repeat the loop’s code block for as long as all conditions are met.

Say you’re prototyping a control system for a manufacturer. The system has a critical mechanism that should work with a pressure of 500 psi or lower. If the pressure goes over 500 psi while staying under 700 psi, then the system has to run a given series of standard safety actions. For pressures greater than 700 psi, there are a whole new set of safety actions that the system must run.

To approach this problem, you can use a while loop with an and expression. Here’s a script that simulates a possible solution:

Python
 1# pressure.py
 2
 3from time import sleep
 4from random import randint
 5
 6def control_pressure():
 7    pressure = measure_pressure()
 8    while True:
 9        if pressure <= 500:
10            break
11
12        while pressure > 500 and pressure <= 700:
13            run_standard_safeties()
14            pressure = measure_pressure()
15
16        while pressure > 700:
17            run_critical_safeties()
18            pressure = measure_pressure()
19
20    print("Wow! The system is safe...")
21
22def measure_pressure():
23    pressure = randint(490, 800)
24    print(f"psi={pressure}", end="; ")
25    return pressure
26
27def run_standard_safeties():
28    print("Running standard safeties...")
29    sleep(0.2)
30
31def run_critical_safeties():
32    print("Running critical safeties...")
33    sleep(0.7)
34
35if __name__ == "__main__":
36    control_pressure()

Inside control_pressure(), you create an infinite while loop on line 8. If the system is stable and the pressure is below 500 psi, the conditional statement breaks out of the loop and the program finishes.

On line 12, the first nested while loop runs the standard safety actions while the system pressure stays between 500 psi and 700 psi. In each iteration, the loop gets a new pressure measurement to test the condition again in the next iteration. If the pressure grows beyond 700 psi, then the second loop on line 16 runs the critical safety actions.

To run this script, open up your command line and enter the following command:

Shell
$ python pressure.py
psi=756; Running critical safeties...
psi=574; Running standard safeties...
psi=723; Running critical safeties...
psi=552; Running standard safeties...
psi=500; Wow! The system is safe...

The output on your screen should be a little different from this sample output, but you can still get an idea of how the application works.

Using Python’s and Operator in Non-Boolean Contexts

The fact that and can return objects besides just True and False is an interesting feature. For example, this feature allows you to use the and operator for conditional execution. Say you need to update a flag variable if the first item in a given list is equal to a certain expected value. For this situation, you can use a conditional statement:

Python
>>> a_list = ["expected value", "other value"]
>>> flag = False

>>> if len(a_list) > 0 and a_list[0] == "expected value":
...     flag = True
...

>>> flag
True

Here, the conditional checks if the list has at least one item. If so, it checks if the first item in the list is equal to the "expected value" string. If both checks pass, then flag changes to True. You can simplify this code by taking advantage of the and operator:

Python
>>> a_list = ["expected value", "other value"]
>>> flag = False

>>> flag = len(a_list) > 0 and a_list[0] == "expected value"

>>> flag
True

In this example, the highlighted line does all the work. It checks both conditions and makes the corresponding assignment in one go. This expression takes the and operator out of the if statement you used in the previous example, which means that you’re not working in a Boolean context any longer.

The code in the example above is more concise than the equivalent conditional statement you saw before, but it’s less readable. To properly understand this expression, you’d need to be aware of how the and operator works internally.

Putting Python’s and Operator Into Action

So far, you’ve learned how to use Python’s and operator for creating compound Boolean expressions and non-Boolean expressions. You’ve also learned how to use this logical operator in Boolean contexts like if statements and while loops.

In this section, you’ll build a few practical examples that’ll help you decide when to use the and operator. With these examples, you’ll learn how to take advantage of and for writing better and more Pythonic code.

Flattening Nested if Statements

One principle from the Zen of Python states that “Flat is better than nested.” For example, while code that has two levels of nested if statements is normal and totally okay, your code really starts to look messy and complicated when you have more than two levels of nesting.

Say you need to test if a given number is positive. Then, once you confirm that it’s positive, you need to check if the number is lower than a given positive value. If it is, you can proceed with a specific calculation using the number at hand:

Python
>>> number = 7

>>> if number > 0:
...     if number < 10:
...         # Do some calculation with number...
...         print("Calculation done!")
...
Calculation done!

Cool! These two nested if statements solve your problem. You first check if the number is positive and then check if it’s lower than 10. In this small example, the call to print() is a placeholder for your specific calculation, which runs only if both conditions are true.

Even though the code works, it’d be nice to make it more Pythonic by removing the nested if. How can you do that? Well, you can use the and operator to combine both conditions in a single compound condition:

Python
>>> number = 7

>>> if number > 0 and number < 10:
...     # Do some calculation with number...
...     print("Calculation done!")
...
Calculation done!

Logical operators like the and operator often provide an effective way to improve your code by removing nested conditional statements. Take advantage of them whenever possible.

In this specific example, you use and to create a compound expression that checks if a number is in a given range or interval. Python provides an even better way to perform this check by chaining expressions. For example, you can write the condition above as 0 < number < 10. That’s a topic for the following section.

Checking Numeric Ranges

With a close look at the example in the section below, you can conclude that Python’s and operator is a convenient tool for checking if a specific numeric value is inside a given interval or range. For example, the following expressions check if a number x is between 0 and 10, both inclusive:

Python
>>> x = 5
>>> x >= 0 and x <= 10
True

>>> x = 20
>>> x >= 0 and x <= 10
False

In the first expression, the and operator first checks if x is greater than or equal to 0. Since the condition is true, the and operator checks if x is lower than or equal to 10. The final result is true because the second condition is also true. This means that the number is within the desired interval.

In the second example, the first condition is true, but the second is false. The general result is false, which means the number isn’t in the target interval.

You can enclose this logic in a function and make it reusable:

Python
>>> def is_between(number, start=0, end=10):
...     return number >= start and number <= end
...

>>> is_between(5)
True
>>> is_between(20)
False

>>> is_between(20, 10, 40)
True

In this example, is_between() takes number as an argument. It also takes start and end, which define the target interval. Note that these arguments have default argument values, which means they’re optional arguments.

Your is_between() function returns the result of evaluating an and expression that checks if number is between start and end, both inclusive.

Even though using the and operator allows you to check gracefully if a number is within a given interval, there’s a more Pythonic technique to approach the same problem. In mathematics, you can write 0 < x < 10 to denote that x is between 0 and 10.

In most programming languages, this expression doesn’t make sense. In Python, however, the expression works like a charm:

Python
>>> x = 5
>>> 0 < x < 10
True

>>> x = 20
>>> 0 < x < 10
False

In a different programming language, this expression would start by evaluating 0 < x, which is true. The next step would be to compare the true Boolean with 10, which doesn’t make much sense, so the expression fails. In Python, something different happens.

Python internally rewrites this type of expression to an equivalent and expression, such as x > 0 and x < 10. It then performs the actual evaluation. That’s why you get the correct result in the example above.

Just like you can chain several subexpressions with multiple and operators, you can also chain them without explicitly using any and operators:

Python
>>> x = 5
>>> y = 15

>>> 0 < x < 10 < y < 20
True

>>> # Equivalent and expression
>>> 0 < x and x < 10 and 10 < y and y < 20
True

You can also use this Python trick to check if several values are equal:

Python
>>> x = 10
>>> y = 10
>>> z = 10

>>> x == y == z
True

>>> # Equivalent and expression
>>> x == y and y == z
True

Chained comparison expressions are a nice feature, and you can write them in various ways. However, you should be careful. In some cases, the final expression can be challenging to read and understand, especially for programmers coming from languages in which this feature isn’t available.

Chaining Function Calls Conditionally

If you’ve ever worked with Bash on a Unix system, then you probably know about the command1 && command2 construct. This is a handy technique that allows you to run several commands in a chain. Each command runs if and only if the previous command was successful:

Shell
$ cd /not_a_dir && echo "Success"
bash: cd: /not_a_dir: No such file or directory

$ cd /home && echo "Success"
Success

These examples use Bash’s short-circuit AND operator (&&) to make the execution of the echo command dependent on the success of the cd command.

Since Python’s and also implements the idea of lazy evaluation, you can use it to emulate this Bash trick. For example, you can chain a series of function calls in a single and expression like the following:

Python
func1() and func2() and func3() ... and funcN()

In this case, Python calls func1(). If the function’s return value evaluates to a true value, then Python calls func2(), and so on. If one of the functions returns a false value, then Python won’t call the rest of the functions.

Here’s an example that uses some pathlib functions to manipulate a text file:

Python
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> file = Path("hello.txt")
>>> file.touch()

>>> # Use a regular if statement
>>> if file.exists():
...     file.write_text("Hello!")
...     file.read_text()
...
6
'Hello!'

>>> # Use an and expression
>>> file.exists() and file.write_text("Hello!") and file.read_text()
'Hello!'

Nice! In a single line of code, you run three functions conditionally without the need for an if statement. In this specific example, the only visible difference is that .write_text() returns the number of bytes it wrote to the file. The interactive shell automatically displays that value to the screen. Keep in mind that this difference isn’t visible when you run the code as a script.

Conclusion

Python’s and operator allows you to construct compound Boolean expressions that you can use to decide the course of action of your programs. You can use the and operator to solve several problems both in Boolean or non-Boolean contexts. Learning about how to use the and operator properly can help you write more Pythonic code.
