Answer: Python Puzzler #1802

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: 7 > 8 is False and 8 < 4 is False. or is True only if at least one side is True.

Trace table

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

partvalue
7 > 8False
8 < 4False

The code again

print(7 > 8 or 8 < 4)

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