conditional expression sought

[Sidharth Kuruvila]

since True and False
can also evaluate as 1 and 0
you can use the binary operators
| and &
for or and and respectively

>>> class F:
...  a = 5
...  def b(self):
...   self.a = 4
...   return True
...  def a(self):
...   self.a = 1
...   return False
...
>>> g = F()
>>> g.a() & g.b()
False
>>> g.a
4
