Answer: Python Puzzler #1378

The answer is D. The program prints:

True
What the program prints
Checked by running the program for real.

Why?

First Python works out each side: 4 > 4 is False and 4 < 5 is True. or is True only if at least one side is True.

Trace table

A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:

partvalue
4 > 4False
4 < 5True

The code again

print(4 > 4 or 4 < 5)

Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
