Python AND Operator With Examples [Latest]

Python AND Operator

There are two types of Python AND Operators.

1. Bitwise AND Operator: It’s denoted by & and work with integers. The numbers are converted into binary format and bitwise AND operation is performed. Finally, the output is returned in the decimal format.
2. Logical AND Operator: It’s denoted by and and work with boolean values. The output is boolean – either True or False.

Python Bitwise AND Operator Example

Let’s look at an example of bitwise and operator. We will ask the user to enter two numbers and print their binary and operation output.

a = int(input('Please enter an integer:n'))
b = int(input('Please enter another integer:n'))
print(f'{a} in binary is {str(bin(a))[2:]}')
print(f'{b} in binary is {str(bin(b))[2:]}')
print(f'Binary AND of {a} and {b} is {a&b}')

Output:

Python Logical AND Operator Example

Let’s look at an example of logical and operator. We will ask the user to enter a single digit number and print if it’s positive or negative. If the user doesn’t enter single digit integer, then we will print it too.

x = int(input('Please enter a single digit integer:n'))
if x > 0 and x < 10:
    print('You entered positive single digit number')
elif x  -10:
    print('You entered negative single digit number')
else:
    print('You did not entered single digit integer')

Output:

Summary

Python provides a lot of operators to work with different kinds of data types. Here we learned how to use Python and operators with boolean and bitwise binary integers.
