Answer: Python Puzzler #1716

The answer is D. The program prints:

True

Checked by running the program for real.

First Python works out each side: 3 > 5 is False and 5 < 8 is True. or is True only if at least one side is True.

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

part	value
3 > 5	False
5 < 8	True

print(3 > 5 or 5 < 8)

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