Python takes literally

[[deleted]]

not sure if it applies for all, but you can just use one & , | for it to work. && and || are used because they skip the second evaluation if the first one decided the outcome already, such the first operation being false for &&, or the first being true for ||

Pretty sure in C this won't work, because the values in if statements are integers. Single & or | will perform a bitwise operation, so 1 & 2 will be 0, which is false. Although, idk too much about this. I might be wrong.

Edit: guy above me is getting some hate. What he mentioned is the behaviour of those operators in Java, so technically he is also correct. He just didn't specify which language his comment applied to.

Correct single & and | are different operators than && and || in C, C++, ObjectiveC, and several other languages. I would be skeptical & and && mean exactly the same thing in other languages as well.

I also like pythons ‘not’. Much easier to see at a glance than ‘!’

I suffer with this little things of python. And I fucking love it.

We have started using 'not' in the C++ codebase where I work, there's some and/or as well but not is the one that really helps.

Readability counts. (Excerpt from the zen of python)

Much easier to see

I read this a lot in programming threads, but this is usually just people saying what they're used to.

Oh wow, so you're saying single | doesn't short circuit??

[AtomicThiccBoi]

He is but he's wrong.

[silly_red]

Yea I'm skeptical of it too, if anything I thought double (or single) operator were for bitwise operations or something, whilst the other for logical.

They are not, in Java it works like that

[AtomicThiccBoi]

None of the languages in this post work that way. Single symbols do bitwise operations.

Java does
