Logical operators are binary operators that allow you to combine different boolean expressions (a boolean expression is basically something that can evaluate to either true or false). Look at the tables below to learn about them. The tables are divided into 2 sections: a truth table, and examples. For the truth table section, p refers to any boolean expression.
