Better than booleans
Project description
Cooleans
Cooleans is a Python package that aims to enhance the bool type in Python by adding a new possible value: "perhaps". This is a value that is neither True nor False, but rather may be one of those values. With cooleans, you can more accurately represent situations where the truth value of a statement is uncertain or unknown.
Getting Started
Installation
You can install cooleans using pip:
pip install cooleans
Usage
Here's an example of how to use cooleans in Python:
from cooleans import DefinitelyTrue, DefinitelyFalse, Perhaps
my_bool = DefinitelyTrue
if my_bool:
print("This is definitely true")
my_bool = Perhaps
if my_bool >= Perhaps:
print("This might be true")
In this example, we create a DefinitelyTrue
coolean value and use it in an if statement to print "This is definitely true". We then create a Perhaps coolean value and use it in an if statement to print "This might be true". Note that Perhaps will always have a truth value of False when treated as a bool.
Supported Operators
Cooleans support the same logical operators as normal bools in Python, including:
and
or
not
==
!=
<
>
<=
>=
Using Values Directly
Cooleans can be used directly as values since they are implemented as a Python class, like so:
from cooleans import DefinitelyTrue, DefinitelyFalse, Perhaps
print(DefinitelyTrue and DefinitelyFalse)
This code snippet will output DefinitelyFalse.
