I thought =
was a mathematical operator, not a logical operator; why does Python use
=
instead of ==
, or
<=
instead of <==
, or
!=
instead of !==
?
Thanks in advance for any clarification. I would have posted this in the help forums of FreeCodeCamp, but I wasn’t sure if this question was too…unspecified(?) for that domain.
Cheers!
I get your point of view, and haven’t thought about it that way before.
As for why it’s like that, my best guess is the sentence I wrote above. Your proposal totally makes sense.
