Answer: Python Puzzler #3963

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: 5 > 6 is False and 6 < 3 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
5 > 6False
6 < 3False

The code again

print(5 > 6 or 6 < 3)

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