Python - Comparisons AND Booleans

-

Booleans



Another type in Python is the Boolean type. There are two Boolean values: True and False.
They can be created by comparing values, for instance by using the equal operator ==.


>>> 1 == 1 and 2 == 2
True
>>> 1 == 1 and 2 == 3
False
Python uses words for its Boolean operators, whereas most other languages use symbols such as &&, || and !.



Comparison

------------------------------

Python also has operators that determine whether one number (float or integer) is greater than or smaller than another. These operators are > and < respectively.

 >>> 8 > 6
True
>>> 11 < 11
False

------------------------------


The greater than or equal to, and smaller than or equal to operators are >= and <=.
They are the same as the strict greater than and smaller than operators, except that they return True when comparing equal numbers.
>>> 8 <= 8
True
>>> 10 >= 10.0
True

Greater than and smaller than operators can also be used to compare strings lexicographically (the alphabetical order of words is based on the alphabetical order of their component letters).

Python - How to Escape special characters in String

-
Besides numbers, Python can also manipulate strings, which can be expressed in several ways. They can be enclosed in single quotes ( '...' ) or double quotes ( "..." ) with the same result  [2] .  \  can be used to escape quotes: >>> 'spam eggs' # single quotes 'spam eggs' >>> 'doesn \' t' # use \' to escape the single quote... "doesn't" >>> "doesn't" # ...or use double quotes instead "doesn't" >>> '"Yes," he said.' '"Yes," he said.' >>> " \" Yes, \" he said." '"Yes," he said.' >>> '"Isn \' t," she said.' '"Isn\'t," she said.' If you don’t want characters prefaced  with  \  to be interpreted as special characters, you can use  raw strings  by adding  an  r  before  the first quote: >>>...

Python - Argument Passing

-
Argument Passing When known to the interpreter, the script name and additional arguments thereafter are turned into a list of strings and assigned to the  argv  variable in the  sys  module. You can access this list by executing  import   sys . The length of the list is at least one; when no script and no arguments are given,  sys.argv[0]  is an empty string. When the script name is given as  '-'  (meaning standard input),  sys.argv[0]  is set to  '-' . When  -c   command  is used,  sys.argv[0]  is set to  '-c' . When  -m   module  is used,  sys.argv[0]  is set to the full name of the located module. Options found after  -c   command  or  -m module  are not consumed by the Python interpreter’s option processing but left in  sys.argv  for the command or module to handle.
