I think I found a small mistake in one of the articles. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/python-example/

in the examples for the boolean operators and, or, not

I’m still learning and am not sure of this but I think the comments on the first two statements are reversed, doesn’t the ‘and’ operator only evaluate the second argument if the first one is true

there is no mistake in the article .

  1. True and False will always return False because if first value is true then it will return the second value.
  2. False and True will always return False because if first value is false it will return first value and never check for second value.
  3. True and True will always return True because if first value is true then it will return the second value.

I know but that’s not what i meant, I was talking about the fact that it says:
“True and False” are short- circuited
And that with
“False and True” it will check the second argument.
Thanks for answering though :slight_smile:
