Answer: Python Puzzler #1782

The answer is C. The program prints:

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

Why?

First Python works out each side: 7 > 1 is True and 1 < 7 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
7 > 1True
1 < 7True

The code again

print(7 > 1 and 1 < 7)

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