Short Circuiting Techniques in Python

In this tutorial, we are going to learn the techniques used for short-circuiting in Python. Basically short-circuiting means that the stoppage of the Boolean expression.

In this technique evaluation of expression takes place from left to right.

In Python programming language short-circuiting is supported by the help of many boolean expressions.

Operators like: conditional operators also support short-circuiting and when the result has obtained no further execution will take place.

In this, you can use Functions and Boolean operators. Operations used to determine the short-circuiting.

The operations given below has some meanings like:

1.OR operation: if x is false then y will be executed only and if x is true then x will be executed.

2. AND operation: if x is true then y is going to executed and if x is false then x will get executed.

These are the main operations we use in this program because they both are the most usable operations for the short-circuiting techniques in a Python programming language. They are the best method to calculate short-circuiting.

* Example for OR operation:

x = 2>0
if x or 2 / 0 ==0:
  print("true")
else:
  print("false")

For this:

Output = true

*  Example for AND operation

x = 3<0

if (x and 3 / 0 == 0):
  print("true")
else:
  print("false")

For this:

Output = false
