operators - Python != operation vs is not - Stack Overflow In a comment on this question, I saw a statement that recommended using result is not None vs result != None What is the difference? And why might one be recommended over the other?
python - What does the caret (^) operator do? - Stack Overflow Side note, seeing as Python defines this as an xor operation and the method name has "xor" in it, I would consider it a poor design choice to make that method do something not related to xor like exponentiation I think it's a good illustrative example of how it simply calls the __xor__ method, but to do that for real would be bad practice
The tilde operator in Python - Stack Overflow In Python, for integers, the bits of the twos-complement representation of the integer are reversed (as in b <- b XOR 1 for each individual bit), and the result interpreted again as a twos-complement integer So for integers, ~x is equivalent to (-x) - 1 The reified form of the ~ operator is provided as operator invert
