ANA BELL: So I'm creating a variable called pset_time and I'm assigning it to be the value 15. I'm creating a variable named sleep_time. I'm assigning it to be the value 8. I'm going to print the value of this expression here. And the expression is a conditional that says, is sleep_time greater than pset_time?
So in Python, you're just going to replace these variables with their values. So is 8 greater than 15? And that's false, so perfect. And then one operation on Booleans derive as true. Drink is false.
I'm using the AND operator to figure out if I should drink and derive, and I'm going to print out false. So, perfect, people are getting it. Great job, guys.
