I know the value -0 is quite meaningless and makes little sense.But I

-0 and True
0 ----------> (Why is this 0 and not say True or False)
-0 and false
0
-0 or True
True
Could someone please provide me some resources on how these operations
take place.I'd wanna find it out myself
Your questions have nothing to do with -0, as it's no different from 0:
>>> 0 == -0
True
Your examples work the same way with simply 0, which is considered a
false value:
>>> bool(0)
False
>>> 0 and True
0
>>> 0 and False
0
>>> 0 or True
True
What you're seeing is simply the short-circuiting behavior of the `and`
and `or` operators; they return the last (relevant) value they
encountered before making their determination of the value of the
overall expressions. See python.org/doc for more information.
