00:00 | Hello and welcome to a tutorial on Logical Operators. It's a very brief tutorial but I will keep it like that at the moment. |
00:09 | I'll use an example of an "if" statement again because that's all I have got at the moment. |
00:18 | What is a logical operator? Let's add a bit of logic and say it's the 'and' or the horizontal line operator. |
00:27 | Now if I start creating my basic layout for my "if" statement, I will get to work on showing you what you can do with these. |
00:43 | Before we had example such as '1 is greater than 1' which at the moment is going to return 'false' |
00:54 | let's just check it to see where we are.... right . So that's "false". |
01:04 | Now what if I said "if 1 is greater than 1 or equals 1". |
01:18 | Now we don't write it as 'or' we write it as two horizontal lines or two pipes. |
01:26 | Not quite sure about that but if you know my keyboard it will be next to the shift key - two vertical lines that means 'OR'. |
01:38 | So if we compile this, what do you think the result is gonna be? |
01:43 | Now let's run through this once - if 1 is greater than 1 - "false" and so we have written "false" or 1 is equal to 1... |
01:54 | We know that 1 equals to 1 is "true"; so here we are saying 'or' 1 is equal to 1 not 'and' because if we said 'and' then both would have to be "true". |
02:09 | or either of these could be "true" to make this. |
02:12 | The output. So hopefully we get "true". |
02:16 | Okay so that's the 'OR'. |
02:18 | Basically it allows you to take two comparisons, show them in your "if" statement and if either of them are "true" - then it's like an "either" operator... |
02:30 | "either" of them are "true", you will be left with "true". |
02:34 | "AND" operator is a different manner. |
02:39 | "and" requires both of these to be "true" for this to be executed. |
02:46 | So we have got "false" here because 1 is not greater than 1. |
02:51 | We'll go back to our comparison operators and we will say "if 1 is greater than 1 or equal to 1 'and' 1 equal 1", here we will get "true". |
03:04 | So now, all I can really think is about to add a few variables in to this test. |
03:10 | But I am pretty sure that you have got the hang of variables by now, by following my other tutorials. |
03:17 | So these are the two logical operators. |
03:20 | You will find them very useful because you might want to say for example - this is a very classic example. You'll find it in one of my projects.... |
03:30 | It is a "login" form. Say a user wants to login into a website. |
03:35 | You've probably logged into a website before and it said to enter your "username" and "password". Now the keywords are in here. |
03:43 | We need to check if the users have entered the "username" and the "password". |
03:48 | If they haven't, there is no point in comparing the "username" to the "password". |
03:52 | So we can say, for example. |
03:54 | If the username in fact let's do this. I'll say "username" is equal to "alex" and my password is equal to "abc". |
04:04 | Now I will substitute these. I can say "username" and "password". |
04:11 | At the moment, this will say "true". |
04:15 | I'll change this. I'll say 'ok' or 'you forgot to fill out a field' because there will eventually be HTML fields. |
04:27 | This is going to be okay because we have got both values. |
04:32 | So let's try it. Yes, that's saying "ok". |
04:37 | Now what happens if I forget to type my password in there? There's nothing in there at the moment - no space - lets get rid of that. |
04:48 | 'You forgot to fill out a field'. |
04:50 | So if you imagine these are coming from the user - so it has been submitted as you typed your "username" and "password" in. |
05:00 | We are saying "username" and "password"; basically "username" itself is "true" because it exists... |
05:07 | If you had that inside, that would be acceptable; that would be "true". |
05:14 | We'll just check that there you go. |
05:18 | So because we have got "username" and "password" then that's fine. |
05:23 | But for the 'or' that doesn't really makes sense and you can imagine what will happen. |
05:29 | So right now, this will equal "true" because we have got both values. So this is 'ok'. |
05:36 | Now if I go with both of them and try it out. |
05:41 | "if the username exists" so the username is "true"... |
05:45 | At the moment there is no value - so it is "false". |
05:48 | "or the password is true" - that is, the value exists; at the moment it doesn't, so it is "false". |
05:56 | So we are going to say "You forgot to fill out a field". |
06:00 | I'll just write here nothing because at the moment it means nothing. |
06:05 | So refresh I'll make it nothing. |
06:08 | So you see, already I have explained how useful these can be in so many every day php applications. |
06:17 | For example - a form someone can fill in. You will find many other users for it. |
06:22 | But that's it then. |
06:24 | Two operators that are logical operators. |
06:27 | Just try them out and see what all you can do with them. |
06:31 | I will be using these most definitely in one of my projects quite soon. |
06:35 | Thanks for watching. |
