Answer: Python Puzzler #1847

The answer is D. The program prints:

False

Checked by running the program for real.

First Python works out each side: 7 > 8 is False and 8 < 1 is False. 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
7 > 8	False
8 < 1	False

print(7 > 8 or 8 < 1)

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