Comparisons & Boolean Logic — Lesson 3: Combine conditions

New skill: Logical operators
Previously learned: Unit 03 — parameters and return values

Why this matters

Real decisions often require more than one condition. Python combines Boolean expressions with and, or, and not.

has_pass = True
is_late = False
print(has_pass and not is_late)
print(has_pass or is_late)

and requires both sides to be true. or requires at least one side true. not reverses a Boolean.

Before moving on, trace each line of the example by hand. Predict the result before running it in the browser.

Would False or True be true? What about True and False?

Use lowercase keywords and, or, not, but capitalized Boolean values True and False.

Complete can_send_notification(online, muted) to return True only when the player is online and not muted.

Example 1 — Input

can_send_notification(True, False)

Output

True

Example 2 — Input

can_send_notification(True, True)

Output

False

Example 3 — Input

can_send_notification(False, False)

Output

False

Use Run to experiment and Check to compare against published examples. A passing public example does not automatically establish mastery.

Hint 1 — Identify the key concept

Both online and not muted must be true.

Hint 2 — Find an approach

`not` reverses the muted flag.

Hint 3 — Check your answer

Combine the conditions with `and`.
