Go Logical Operators

Logical operators in Go are used to evaluate the relationship between variables or values by determining the truth of logical conditions. They are essential for decision-making in programming.

List of Logical Operators in Go

Here is a breakdown of the logical operators, their purpose, and examples:

Examples Using Logical Operators

Here is a practical demonstration of how logical operators can be used in a Go program. To make it interesting, we’ll incorporate motorcycle brands:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    ducati := 7
    yamaha := 9

    // Logical AND
    fmt.Println(ducati < 10 && yamaha < 10) // true, both conditions are true

    // Logical OR
    fmt.Println(ducati > 8 || yamaha > 8) // true, one condition is true

    // Logical NOT
    fmt.Println(!(ducati < 10 && yamaha < 10)) // false, reversing the result of true
}

Explanation of Examples

1. Logical AND (&&):
   • Both ducati and yamaha are compared to check if they are less than 10.
   • The output is true because both conditions evaluate to true.
2. Logical OR (||):
   • Checks if either ducati is greater than 8 or yamaha is greater than 8.
   • The output is true because at least one condition (yamaha > 8) is true.
3. Logical NOT (!):
   • Negates the result of (ducati < 10 && yamaha < 10), which is originally true.
   • The output becomes false.
