Answer: Python Puzzler #3507

The answer is C. The program prints:

False

This answer was checked by running the program for real.

Why?

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

The code again

print(1 > 8 and 8 < 8)

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