Equivalence of logical operations and other operations in Python programming language

Abstract

In most programming languages, there are logical operators "logical NOT", "logical AND", "logical OR". There are also logical bitwise operators "bitwise NOT", "bitwise AND", "bitwise OR", "bitwise XOR". This article discusses the possibility of using other non-logical operators (comparison, arithmetic, shift, identification) to replace and conveniently shorthand other logical functions or logical operators in binary logic in a programming language and, on the other hand, code obfuscation capabilities. The considered examples cover the basic operations of the Python programming language and can be used in other programming languages. The problems of using other operations as logical ones are covered. The article also provides truth tables for all unary and binary Boolean functions and corresponding non-logical functions, as well as the generally accepted names of unary and binary Boolean functions and operations put together.
