Output

Shows: FALSO (the first is true, but the second isn't)

This is what the console shows when the example runs.

FALSO

Common mistake

Real use: edad >= 13 Y edad <= 19 is true only for teenagers.

Good to know

Instead of Y you can write &&. The symbol works in every profile; the word Y works in profiles that allow word operators, like the default one.

Some details depend on your school's profile. See the language profiles.

In a flowchart

This is how it appears in a flowchart, with the same shapes Codoritmo draws.

edad >= 13 Y edad <= 19SíNo
Used inside a condition. It has no shape of its own; it's used inside a condition. Flowchart: a decision diamond with the condition "edad >= 13 Y edad <= 19"; the Sí (yes) exit continues down and the No exit turns right.
