Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 270726)

 

Explanation:

🔹 What Does the or Operator Do?

The or operator evaluates expressions from left to right.

It returns the first truthy value it finds.

If every value is falsy, it returns the last value.

General Syntax:

value1 or value2 or value3

🔹 Step 1: Evaluate the Empty String

""

An empty string is a Falsy value.

bool("")

Output

False

Since it is False, Python moves to the next value.

🔹 Step 2: Evaluate the Empty List

[]

An empty list is also Falsy.

bool([])

Output

False

Python continues because it still hasn't found a truthy value.

🔹 Step 3: Evaluate the Empty Dictionary

{}

An empty dictionary is also Falsy.

bool({})

Output

False

Python again moves to the next operand.

🔹 Step 4: Evaluate the Integer

100

Any non-zero integer is Truthy.

bool(100)

Output

True

Since Python has found the first truthy value, it stops checking the remaining operands.

The whole expression becomes:

100

🔹 Step 5: Execute print()

Now Python executes:

print(100)

So the output is:

100
