❓ FAQ
QWhat is the difference between <= and
A`<=` includes equality: `3 <= 3` is `True` while `3 < 3` is `False`. Implementation-wise it is decided by the `__le__` method.
QCan I check whether a value falls inside a range by writing them consecutively?
AYes. `if 0 <= x <= 10:` is a distinctive Python idiom, clearer than `if 0 <= x and x <= 10:`, and `x` is evaluated only once.
QCan different operators be mixed in a chained comparison?
AYes. For example, `0 <= x < 10` is valid and equivalent to `0 <= x and x < 10`; the middle `x` is also evaluated only once.
