Lesson 06 of 55
8 mins readPython Booleans, Equality & Logical Operators
In Plain English
Explore boolean logic in Haskell: values True and False, equality test (==), not-equal test (/=), and logical conjunction/disjunction.
Deep Dive: How It Works
Not Equal (/=): Haskell uses /= for inequality (resembling the mathematical ≠symbol), not !=.
Logical Functions: && (and), || (or), and not (unary negation).
Order Comparisons: <, <=, >, >= available for any type in the Ord typeclass.
Core Rules to Remember
Inequality Operator (/=): Haskell uses /= instead of != for not-equal checks.
Strict Boolean Types: Conditionals accept only true Bool values, preventing type coercion bugs.
