[python] Using the AND and NOT Operator in Python

Here is my custom class that I have that represents a triangle. I'm trying to write code that checks to see if self.a, self.b, and self.c are greater than 0, which would mean that I have Angle, Angle, Angle.

Below you will see the code that checks for A and B, however when I use just self.a != 0 then it works fine. I believe I'm not using & correctly. Any ideas? Here is how I am calling it: print myTri.detType()

class Triangle:

    # Angle A To Angle C Connects Side F
    # Angle C to Angle B Connects Side D
    # Angle B to Angle A Connects Side E

    def __init__(self, a, b, c, d, e, f):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b
        self.c = c
        self.d = d
        self.e = e
        self.f = f

    def detType(self):
        #Triangle Type AAA
        if self.a != 0 & self.b != 0:
            return self.a

        #If self.a > 10:
            #return AAA

        #Triangle Type AAS

        #elif self.a = 0:
            #return AAS

        #Triangle Type ASA

        #Triangle Type SAS

        #Triangle Type SSS  

        #else:
            #return unknown

It's called and and or in Python.

Use the keyword and, not & because & is a bit operator.

Be careful with this... just so you know, in Java and C++, the & operator is ALSO a bit operator. The correct way to do a boolean comparison in those languages is &&. Similarly | is a bit operator, and || is a boolean operator. In Python and and or are used for boolean comparisons.
