I have multiple conditions in an if statement:
if x > 0.01 and x < 0.015 and y != 0 and (var_1 == var_2 == 0):
#do...
Now from the reading i did, the parentheses will be executed first, am i correct in saying that? Secondly, are the parentheses in this example redundent if it does not matter that its checked first?
CodePudding user response:
The chained comparisons in parentheses are equivalent to
(var_1 == var_2 and var_2 == 0)
So your whole expression is equivalent to
if x > 0.01 and x < 0.015 and y != 0 and (var_1 == var_2 and var_2 == 0):
See documentation
The parentheses are redundant and the terms will still be evaluated left to right with short-circuiting.
