  • [**@celtschk**](https://codegolf.codidact.com/users/8056) also mentions that [different operators can also enter a single conditional](https://codegolf.codidact.com/comments/thread/4409#comment-13436), as long as an order is applied.
  • For example:
  • ```
  • a < b and b > c
  • ```
  • Can be rewritten as:
  • ```
  • a<b>c
  • ```

# Combine conditionals

Python has its fair share of comparison operators and can actually be used in a single conditional. For example:
```
x == 2 and y == 2
```

can be:
```
x==y==2
```
