Python'da not: Mantıksal NOT Operatörü Açıklaması

Python'daki not operatörü, işleneninin doğruluk değerini tersine çeviren tekli bir mantıksal operatördür. İşlenen False olarak değerlendirilirse True döndürür ve işlenen True olarak değerlendirilirse False döndürür. İki işlenen gerektiren and ve or operatörlerinin aksine, not tek bir işlenenle çalışır ve İngilizce "not" kelimesi olarak yazılır.

Temel NOT Operatörü Sözdizimi

not operatörü, tek bir işlenen alan ve doğruluk değerini tersine çeviren tekli bir operatördür.

condition1 or condition2

not operatörü, işlenen False ise True döndürür ve işlenen True ise False döndürür.

Örnek 1: Temel NOT İşlemi

bool1 = 2 > 3  # False
bool2 = 2 < 3  # True

result = bool1 or bool2
print(result)

False
True
False
True

Example 2: Both False

bool1 = 2 > 3  # False
bool2 = 5 > 10  # False

result = bool1 or bool2
print(result)

False

When both conditions are False, the or operator returns False.

NOT Operatörü için Doğruluk Tablosu

not operatörünün nasıl çalıştığını anlamak, negatif koşullar yazmak için çok önemlidir.

not operatörü boolean değerini olumsuzlar, True'yu False'a ve tam tersine dönüştürür.

Example: All Truth Table Cases

# Case 1: True or True = True
if True or True:
    print("Case 1: True")  # This executes

# Case 2: True or False = True
if True or False:
    print("Case 2: True")  # This executes

# Case 3: False or True = True
if False or True:
    print("Case 3: True")  # This executes

# Case 4: False or False = False
if False or False:
    print("Case 4: True")
else:
    print("Case 4: False")  # This executes

Case 1: True
Case 2: True
Case 3: True
Case 4: False

Combining Multiple Conditions

The and operator is commonly used to combine multiple comparison operations in conditional statements.

Example 1: Age and License Check

age = 25
has_license = True

if age >= 18 and has_license:
    print("You can drive")
else:
    print("You cannot drive")

You can drive

Example 2: Number Range Check

number = 15

if number > 10 and number < 20:
    print(f"{number} is between 10 and 20")

15 is between 10 and 20

Example 3: Multiple Conditions

a = 10
b = 10
c = -10

if a > 0 and b > 0:
    print("The numbers are greater than 0")

if a > 0 and b > 0 and c > 0:
    print("All numbers are greater than 0")
else:
    print("At least one number is not greater than 0")

The numbers are greater than 0
At least one number is not greater than 0

This example shows how and can chain multiple conditions together.

Short-Circuit Evaluation

Python's and operator uses short-circuit evaluation, meaning if the first condition is False, Python doesn't evaluate the second condition because the result is already determined to be False.

Example: Demonstrating Short-Circuit

def check_first():
    print("First condition evaluated")
    return False

def check_second():
    print("Second condition evaluated")
    return True

# Short-circuit in action
if check_first() and check_second():
    print("Both are True")
else:
    print("At least one is False")

First condition evaluated
At least one is False

Notice that "Second condition evaluated" never prints because check_first() returned False, so Python skipped evaluating check_second(). This optimization improves performance and prevents unnecessary computations.

Example 2: Avoiding Division by Zero

x = 0
y = 10

# Safe division check
if x != 0 and y / x > 2:
    print("y/x is greater than 2")
else:
    print("Cannot divide or condition not met")

Cannot divide or condition not met

The short-circuit evaluation prevents the division by zero error because x != 0 is False, so y / x is never evaluated.

Using and with Boolean Variables

Boolean variables can be combined directly with the and operator without comparison operators.

Example 1: Direct Boolean Check

is_logged_in = True
has_permission = True

if is_logged_in and has_permission:
    print("Access granted")
else:
    print("Access denied")

Access granted

Example 2: Multiple Boolean Flags

a = 10
b = 12
c = 0

if a and b and c:
    print("All numbers have boolean value as True")
else:
    print("At least one number has boolean value as False")

At least one number has boolean value as False

In Python, 0 evaluates to False in boolean context, while non-zero numbers evaluate to True.

Chaining Multiple Conditions

You can chain multiple and operators together to check several conditions at once.

Example 1: Grade Requirements

attendance = 85
homework_score = 90
exam_score = 88

if attendance >= 80 and homework_score >= 85 and exam_score >= 85:
    print("You passed the course with good grades")
else:
    print("Requirements not met")

You passed the course with good grades

Example 2: Password Validation

password = "SecurePass123"

has_upper = any(c.isupper() for c in password)
has_lower = any(c.islower() for c in password)
has_digit = any(c.isdigit() for c in password)
min_length = len(password) >= 8

if has_upper and has_lower and has_digit and min_length:
    print("Password is strong")
else:
    print("Password does not meet requirements")

Password is strong

Example 3: Date Range Validation

year = 2024
month = 6
day = 15

if year > 2000 and month >= 1 and month <= 12 and day >= 1 and day <= 31:
    print("Valid date")
else:
    print("Invalid date")

Valid date

Python 'and' vs Other Languages '&&'

Unlike languages like C, C++, Java, or JavaScript that use && for logical AND, Python uses the keyword and.

Python Syntax:

x = 5
y = 10

if x < y and y < 15:
    print("Both conditions are True")

Other Languages (JavaScript/Java/C++):

// This does NOT work in Python
if (x < y && y < 15) {
    console.log("Both conditions are True");
}

Important: Attempting to use && in Python will result in a SyntaxError. Always use the keyword and in Python.

# This will cause an error
# if x > 0 && y > 0:  # SyntaxError
#     print("Error!")

# Correct Python syntax
if x > 0 and y > 0:
    print("Correct!")

Combining and with or Operator

You can mix and and or operators in the same expression, but remember that and has higher precedence than or. Use parentheses to control evaluation order.

Example 1: Without Parentheses

age = 25
has_ticket = True
is_vip = False

# and has higher precedence than or
if age >= 18 and has_ticket or is_vip:
    print("You can enter")

You can enter

This evaluates as: (age >= 18 and has_ticket) or is_vip

Example 2: With Parentheses for Clarity

score = 75
extra_credit = 10

# Explicit grouping
if (score >= 70 and score < 80) or extra_credit >= 20:
    print("Grade: B")

Grade: B

Example 3: Complex Condition

temperature = 25
is_sunny = True
is_weekend = True

if (temperature > 20 and is_sunny) or is_weekend:
    print("Good day for outdoor activities")

Good day for outdoor activities

    print("Data is valid")
else:
    print("Invalid data")

Data is valid

Nested Conditions vs and Operator

Using the and operator is often cleaner than nesting multiple if statements.

Nested Approach (Less Readable):

age = 25
income = 50000

if age >= 21:
    if income >= 30000:
        print("Loan approved")
    else:
        print("Insufficient income")
else:
    print("Age requirement not met")

Using and Operator (More Readable):

age = 25
income = 50000

if age >= 21 and income >= 30000:
    print("Loan approved")
else:
    print("Requirements not met")

Loan approved

The second approach using and is more concise and easier to understand.

Kaçınılması Gereken Yaygın Hatalar

Hata 1: "not" ile "not in" Karıştırma

# Wrong - SyntaxError
# if x > 0 && y > 0:
#     print("Both positive")

# Correct
if x > 0 and y > 0:
    print("Both positive")

Hata 2: Operatör Önceliği Hataları

# Ambiguous - may not work as intended
if x > 5 and y > 3 or z < 10:
    print("Condition met")

# Better - use parentheses
if (x > 5 and y > 3) or z < 10:
    print("Condition met")

Hata 3: == False ile Karşılaştırma

x = 5

# Wrong - doesn't work as expected
# if x == 3 or 5 or 7:  # Always True!

# Correct
if x == 3 or x == 5 or x == 7:
    print("x is 3, 5, or 7")

# Even better - use 'in'
if x in [3, 5, 7]:
    print("x is 3, 5, or 7")

Mistake 4: Not Considering Short-Circuit

# Potentially unsafe
# if len(my_list) > 0 and my_list[0] > 10:  # Error if my_list doesn't exist

# Safe approach
my_list = []
if my_list and len(my_list) > 0 and my_list[0] > 10:
    print("First element is greater than 10")
