Boolean Expressions Using Variables

Boolean values can be stored in variables just like strings and numbers.

>>> x = 10
>>> is_greater_than_10 = (x > 10)
>>> is_greater_than_10
False

A common misconception is that entire expressions get stored, rather than the boolean value (True or False).

>>> w = 22
>>> is_equal_to_22 = (w == 22)
>>> is_equal_to_22
True
>>> w = 15
>>> is_equal_to_22
True

Comparators work on most types.

>>> name = "Michelle"
>>> form_submission_name = "Michael"
>>> is_same_person = (name == form_submission_name)
>>> is_same_person
False
