Answer: Python Puzzler #1619

The answer is D. The program prints:

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

Why?

First Python works out each side: 5 > 5 is False and 5 < 2 is False. and is True only if both sides are True.

Trace table

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

partvalue
5 > 5False
5 < 2False

The code again

print(5 > 5 and 5 < 2)

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