Answer: Python Puzzler #3654

The answer is B. The program prints:

True

This answer was checked by running the program for real.

Why?

First Python works out each side: 6 > 5 is True and 5 < 5 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
6 > 5True
5 < 5False

The code again

print(6 > 5 or 5 < 5)

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