Answer: Python Puzzler #1787

The answer is B. The program prints:

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

Why?

First Python works out each side: 1 > 2 is False and 2 < 6 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
1 > 2False
2 < 6True

The code again

print(1 > 2 and 2 < 6)

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