You can combine two (or more) expressions by surrounding each
with parenthesis and then using one of the logical operators
below.
For example:
if (variable1 == value) or (variable2 == value):
doThis()
You can use not() to reverse the result of an expression, turning
True to False and False to True. For example:
if not(variable == value):
doThis()
By using correct spacing, you can also put if statements inside
the code that runs if an earlier if statement is True. However,
using elif is often a little easier to read.
The example below runs doThis1() if the value of variable is 1. If
it is not, it checks whether the value is 2 and runs doThis2(). If it
is not 2 either, it checks whether the value is 3 and runs doThis3().
If the value is not 1, 2, or 3 then it runs doThisInAllOtherCases().
if variable == 1:
doThis1()
elif variable == 2:
>= Returns True if the first number is greater than or
equal to the second, and False if it is not.
<= Returns True if the first number is less than or
equal to the second, and False if it is not.
