Comparisons and booleans

Comparison operators give you back a boolean — True or False:

print(5 > 3)     # True
print(5 == 3)    # False

Watch the difference between = and ==. One assigns a value, the other asks a question. Mixing them up is the single most common beginner bug.

You can combine booleans with and (both must be true), or (at least one), and not (flips it).

Using score and attendance, create:

• passed — is score at least 60?
• perfect_attendance — is attendance exactly 100?
• gets_award — did they pass and have perfect attendance?
