Can anyone help me understand it?

Question

If not True:
Print("1")
elif not ("1+1== 3"):
Print ("2")
else:
Print("3")

The NOT Boolean is quit confusing for me.😣😵😵
The answer is 2 how??

Answer 1

Your code has case and indention errors. Corrected:

if not True:
print("1")
elif not ("1+1== 3"):
print ("2")
else:
print("3")

Output is 3. If you remove the quotes in the elif condition it will output 2.

not True -> False
"1+1==3" -> True (it is a string and not empty)
1+1==3 -> 2==3 -> False

Answer 2

not True means false.
As first if is False it jumps to next elif .

In elif 2==3 which is False but before False there is a not that makes it True .

So 2 is printed

Answer 3

Hi! is this the full code of your program? if so, the result will be 3, not two as you indicated

Answer 4

Hi there, this is the code

And I understand that not True is False but why is the answer not 1 , I mean there is not any information to say that it will be False or True in certain condition.

Sorry, if I am not clear😅

Answer 5

Ahh, sorry for that, I pasted the code in earlier reply, can you please help..

Answer 7

simply

In Python there are 2 types of boolean data True, False

In Python, everything is True
except
None False [], Range (0), (),{} , "", and 0
one of boolean operator is "not" Which reverses the result

Assuming a = True
not a ==> False
And if a = False
not a ==> True

I hope this helped you to understand. 😍
