Answer: Python Puzzler #1862

The answer is A. The program prints:

True

Checked by running the program for real.

First Python works out each side: 9 > 8 is True and 8 < 9 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
9 > 8	True
8 < 9	True

print(9 > 8 or 8 < 9)

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