Answer: Python Puzzler #1659

The answer is A. The program prints:

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

Why?

First Python works out each side: 5 > 6 is False and 6 < 9 is True. 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 > 6False
6 < 9True

The code again

print(5 > 6 and 6 < 9)

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