Both languages have booleansa type representing the logic values, true and false. Java calls the type boolean and uses the names (literals) true and false, whereas Python calls it Boolean and uses True and False and any value (all values are true other than False, 0, and ""). Note that in Python, the values 0 and "" will also be interpreted as false in a condition and all other values will be true, including True, of course.
Python's Boolean operators:, and, or, and not are replaced by: have corresponding Java operators &&, || and ! in Java.

In Java, most of the comparison operators ( , >, <, >=, and <=) , can be applied only to primitive numerical types, while in Python, the comparison operators can be applied to numbers, strings, and other types of objects, and compare values in some appropriate way (e.g. numeric order, lexical order) where possible. . Two (The equality operators, == and !=) , can be applied to any object, but when applied to reference types they test for same (different) object rather than same (different) value.

The comparison operator operators for numbers are the same as in Python. For built-in class types, instead of == in Python, Java uses you should use the equals method in Java.
