python3: and和or语句的返回值

参考链接: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4477850/and-or-operators-return-value/19187401#19187401

 

The and and or operators do return one of their operands, not a pure boolean value like True or False:

>>> 0 or 42
42
>>> 0 and 42
0

Whereas not always returns a pure boolean value:

>>> not 0
True
>>> not 42
False

Python docs:

Operation	Result	notes
x or y	if x is false, then y, else x	(1)
x and y1	if x is false, then x, else y	(2)
not x	if x is false, then True, else False	(3)
