Logical operation between two Boolean lists

Question

I get a weird result and I try to apply the and or the or operator to 2 Boolean lists in python. I actually get the exact opposite of what I was expec

Answer 1

This is normal, because and and or actually evaluate to one of their operands. x and y is like

def and(x, y):
    if x:
        return y
    return x

while x or y is like

def or(x, y):
    if x:
        return x
    return y

Since both of your lists contain values, they are both "truthy" so and evaluates to the second operand, and or evaluates to the first.
