C - Basic Logical Operations

1. and() Operator

The .and() operator joins two conditions that must both be true.

XPathy locator = div.byAttribute(id).equals("main-container")
                    .and()
                    .byText().contains("Hello World");

//div[@id='main-container' and contains(text(), 'Hello World')]

Explanation:

1. div.byAttribute(id).equals("main-container") → //div[@id='main-container']
2. .and().byText().contains("Hello World") → adds an additional condition on the same div node
3. Final → //div[@id='main-container' and contains(text(), 'Hello World')]

2. or() Operator

The .or() operator joins two conditions where either one may be true.

XPathy locator = div.byAttribute(id).equals("main-container")
                    .or()
                    .byText().contains("Hello World");

//div[@id='main-container' or contains(text(), 'Hello World')]

Explanation: Matches any <div> with id="main-container" OR text containing "Hello World".

3. not() Operator

The .not() operator negates the following condition. This allows you to exclude elements matching a certain attribute, text, or style.

XPathy locator = div.byText().contains("Hello World")
                    .and()
                    .byAttribute(id).not().equals("main-container");

//div[contains(text(), 'Hello World') and not(@id='main-container')]

Explanation:

1. First condition: contains(text(), 'Hello World')
2. Second condition: not(@id='main-container')
3. Combined with .and() → //div[contains(text(), 'Hello World') and not(@id='main-container')]

4. Chaining Multiple Logical Operations

XPathy allows chaining and(), or(), and not() in sequence to build more complex predicates.

XPathy locator = span.byText().contains("Discount")
                     .and()
                     .byAttribute(class_).not().equals("expired")
                     .or()
                     .byNumber().greaterThan(50);

//span[contains(text(), 'Discount') and not(@class='expired') or number(text()) > 50]
