Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -210426)

 

Explanation:

🔹 Step 1: Understand the Expression

x and [] or [0]

This uses short-circuit evaluation

Python evaluates left → right

🔹 Step 2: Evaluate x

x = [1, 2, 3]

Non-empty list → Truthy ✅

x and []

Since x is True → result becomes []

🔹 Step 3: Evaluate []

Empty list → Falsy ❌

👉 Now expression becomes:

[] or [0]

🔹 Step 4: Evaluate or
