| 00:02 | Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on Logical & Other Operators. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn: |
| 00:09 | * Logical Operators |
| 00:11 | *Parallel assignment and |
| 00:13 | * Range Operators . |
| 00:15 | Here, we are using: |
| 00:17 | * Ubuntu Linux version 12.04 |
| 00:20 | * Ruby 1.9.3 |
| 00:23 | To follow this tutorial, you must know how to use Terminal and Text editor in Linux. |
| 00:29 | You must also be familiar with 'irb'. |
| 00:33 | If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website. |
| 00:38 | Logical operators are also known as Boolean operators |
| 00:42 | because they evaluate parts of an expression |
| 00:45 | and return a true or false value. |
| 00:48 | Logical Operators are- |
| 00:51 | * double ampersand (&&) that is and |
| 00:54 | * double pipe that is or |
| 00:56 | * Exclamation mark (!) that is not. |
| 01:00 | * '&&' (double ampersand) and and evaluate to true only if both the expressions are true. |
| 01:07 | Second expression is evaluated only if the first is true. |
| 01:12 | Difference in the two forms is precedence. |
| 01:15 | Symbolic and that is&&(double ampersand) has higher precedence. |
| 01:20 | Let's see some examples now. |
| 01:22 | We will use irb for this. |
| 01:25 | Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously. |
| 01:31 | Type "irb" and press Enter to launch interactive Ruby. |
| 01:36 | Type: 3 greater than 2 space double ampersand space 4 less than 5. |
| 01:47 | Press Enter. |
| 01:49 | We get the output as "true". |
| 01:53 | Here, expression1 that is 3>2 is true. |
| 01:59 | Expression 2 that is 4<5 is also true. |
| 02:03 | Since both the expressions are true, we get output as true. |
| 02:08 | Now, press Up-Arrow key to get the previous command. |
| 02:12 | And replace the double ampersand symbol with the word "and". |
| 02:17 | Press Enter. |
| 02:19 | We get the same result. |
| 02:22 | Now, press up-arrow key again to get the previous command. |
| 02:27 | In expression1, replace greater-than sign with less-than, |
| 02:32 | press Enter |
| 02:35 | We get the output as "false". |
| 02:38 | This is because 3 < 2 is false. |
| 02:43 | Since the first expression is false, the second expression will not be evaluated. |
| 02:49 | So, we get the output as "false". |
| 02:53 | double pipe and or evaluate to true, if either expression is true. |
| 02:59 | Second expression is evaluated only if first is false. |
| 03:04 | Difference in the two forms is precedence. |
| 03:07 | Symbolic or i.e double pipe has higher precedence. |
| 03:11 | Now, let's try some examples. |
| 03:15 | Type: 10 greater than 6 space double pipe space 12 less than 7 |
| 03:23 | Press Enter. |
| 03:26 | We get output as "true". |
| 03:29 | Here expression 1, that is 10>6, is true. |
| 03:35 | Since the first expression is true, second expression will not be evaluated. |
| 03:40 | So, we get the output as true. |
| 03:42 | Now, press the Up-Arrow key to get the previous command. |
| 03:46 | In expression 1 replace greater than sign with less than sign |
| 03:52 | and replace pipe symbol with the word or. |
| 03:57 | Press Enter. |
| 04:00 | Here, expression1 that is 10<6 is false. |
| 04:05 | Expression 2 that is 12<7 is also false. |
| 04:10 | Since both the expressions are false, we get output as "false". |
| 04:15 | '!' (exclamation mark ) and not operators return the opposite value of the expression. |
| 04:20 | If the expression is true, exclamation mark operator will return a false value. |
| 04:27 | It will return true if the expression is false. |
| 04:30 | Difference in the two forms is precedence. |
| 04:33 | Symbolic not, that is '!', has higher precedence. |
| 04:37 | Let's try out the "not" operator. |
| 04:40 | First, type: 10 double equal to 10 |
| 04:45 | Press Enter . |
| 04:47 | We get the output as "true". |
| 04:50 | To invert the result of above expression, |
| 04:53 | let's add the "not" operator before the expression. |
| 04:57 | Type: exclamation mark within brackets 10 double equal to 10 . |
| 05:04 | Press Enter. |
| 05:06 | We get the output as "false". |
| 05:10 | Press Ctrl+L simultaneously to clear the irb console. |
| 05:15 | Next, let us learn about parallel assignment. |
| 05:20 | Multiple variables can be initialized with a single line of Ruby code, through parallel assignment. |
| 05:26 | Let's switch to the terminal. |
| 05:29 | Let's declare three variables 'a', 'b', 'c' using parallel assignment. |
| 05:36 | Type: a comma b comma c equal to 10 comma 20 comma 30 |
| 05:45 | and press Enter. |
| 05:47 | Here, 10 will be assigned to variable 'a', |
| 05:52 | 20 will be assigned to variable 'b' |
| 05:54 | 30 will be assigned to variable 'c'. |
| 05:56 | The right-hand side acts as an array. |
| 06:01 | If we list multiple variables on the left hand side then the array is unpacked and assigned into the respective variables. |
| 06:10 | We will learn about arrays in detail, in the upcoming tutorials. |
| 06:14 | For now, let's check whether the assignment is done properly. |
| 06:20 | Type 'a' and press Enter. |
| 06:23 | Value 10, stored in variable 'a', is displayed. |
| 06:28 | Type 'b' and press Enter. |
| 06:31 | We get 20. |
| 06:33 | Type 'c' and press Enter. |
| 06:37 | 30 is displayed. |
| 06:40 | Parallel assignment is also useful for swapping the values stored in two variables. |
| 06:45 | Let us swap the values of variables 'a' and 'b'. |
| 06:50 | Type puts space within double quotes a equal to hash within curly brackets a comma within double quotes b equal to hash within curly brackets b |
| 07:11 | Press Enter. |
| 07:13 | We get the output as a=10 |
| 07:16 | b=20. |
| 07:20 | Now, let's swap 'a' and 'b'. |
| 07:23 | To do so, type: |
| 07:25 | a comma b equal to b comma a |
| 07:31 | Press Enter. |
| 07:33 | Press Up-Arrow key twice to get the puts command and press Enter. |
| 07:39 | We get the output as- |
| 07:41 | a=20 |
| 07:44 | b=10 . |
| 07:47 | We will now learn about range in Ruby. |
| 07:50 | The values in a range can be numbers, characters, strings or objects. |
| 07:58 | Ranges are used to express a sequence. |
| 08:02 | Sequence range is used to create a range of successive values. |
| 08:06 | It consists of a start value, range of values and an end value. |
| 08:13 | (..) two dot operator creates inclusive range. |
| 08:16 | (...) three dot operator creates an exclusive range. |
| 08:20 | Ranges are used to identify whether a value falls within a particular range too. |
| 08:26 | We do this using (===) the equality operator. |
| 08:30 | Let us try out some examples on ranges. |
| 08:33 | Let's switch to terminal. |
| 08:36 | Type: within brackets 1 two dots 10 then dot to underscore a |
| 08:46 | Two dot operator creates inclusive range. |
| 08:50 | Inclusive operator includes both, begin and end values, in a range. |
| 08:57 | Here to_a method is used to convert a range to a list. |
| 09:03 | Press Enter. |
| 09:05 | Here, you can see the values 1 and 10 are included in the range. |
| 09:11 | Now, we will see an exclusive range operator. |
| 09:16 | Type: within brackets 1 three dots 10 then dot to underscore a. |
| 09:27 | Three dot operator creates an exclusive range. |
| 09:31 | Exclusive range operator excludes the end value from the sequence. |
| 09:37 | Press Enter. |
| 09:39 | Here, the end value 10 is not included in the range. |
| 09:45 | Now, let's check whether 5 lies in the range of 1 to 10. |
| 09:50 | Type: within brackets 1 two dots 10 three times equal to and then 5. |
| 10:00 | Press Enter. |
| 10:02 | Equality operator is used to check whether a value lies in the range. |
| 10:07 | We get the output as "true" since 5 lies in the range 1 to 10. |
| 10:14 | This brings us to the end of this Spoken Tutorial. |
| 10:17 | In this tutorial, we have learnt: |
| 10:20 | * Logical operator i.e double ampersand, double pipe and exclamation mark operators. |
| 10:27 | * Parallel assignment Ex: a, b, c = 10, 20, 30 |
| 10:34 | * Range Operator- Inclusive operator (..) and Exclusive operator(...). |
| 10:39 | As an assignment, |
| 10:41 | declare two variables using parallel assignment and |
| 10:45 | check whether their sum lies between 20 and 50. |
