Answer: Python Puzzler #3606

The answer is D. The program prints:

False

This answer was checked by running the program for real.

Why?

First Python works out each side: 3 > 5 is False and 5 < 3 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
3 > 5False
5 < 3False

The code again

print(3 > 5 and 5 < 3)

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