Question

For the following sample:

def fuctionName(int, bool):
    if int in range(...):
        if bool == True:
            return False
        else:
            return True

Is there any way to skip the second if-statement? Just to tell the computer to return the opposite of the boolean bool?

Answer 1

To negate a boolean, you can use the not operator:

not bool

Or in your case, the if/return blocks can be replaced by:

return not bool

Be sure to note the operator precedence rules, and the negated is and in operators: a is not b and a not in b.
