Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -220426)

 

Explanation:

🧠 1. Operator Precedence (Priority Rules)

In Python, logical operators follow this order:

and → evaluated first

or → evaluated after

So the expression is treated as:

⚙️ 2. Evaluating 5 and 3

and returns the first falsy value, or the last value if all are truthy

Here:

5 → truthy

3 → truthy

So:

5 and 3 → 3

⚙️ 3. Evaluating 0 or 3

or returns the first truthy value

Here:

0 → falsy

3 → truthy

So:

0 or 3 → 3
