How do "and" and "or" work when combined in one statement?
- by orokusaki
For some reason this function confused me:
def protocol(port):
return port == "443" and "https://" or "http://"
Can somebody explain the order of what's happening behind the scenes to make this work the way it does.
I understood it as this until I tried it:
Either A)
def protocol(port):
if port == "443":
if bool("https://"):
return True
elif bool("http://"):
return True
return False
Or B)
def protocol(port):
if port == "443":
return True + "https://"
else:
return True + "http://"
Is this some sort of special case in Python, or am I completely misunderstanding how statements work?
