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!
<=is already no mathematical assignment operator, but a comparison operator. Thus there is no need to define e.g.<==for comparing two values.
