[comparison] operators: http://docs.python.org/3.3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#operators a <= b # expression (something is evaluated; ideally there are no side effects) c = a <= b # statement (something is done, ideally only the side effect matters) if a <= b: # conditional [expression] (some action is taken based on the result of the expression) ... while a <= b: # conditional [expression] ... Context is important: c(a <= b) # statement, assuming c does something permanent if c(a <= b): # expression, ideally only the result of c(...) matters. > I am looking at a few different pages and am unsure what I should be > calling these expressions. > > http://anh.cs.luc.edu/python/hands- on/3.1/handsonHtml/ifstatements.html#simple-conditions > > http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_basic_operators.htm > > http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#truth-value-testing > > Thanks _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
