Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 070926)

 

Code Explanation:

Step 1: Assign the value to x

x = False

Here, x contains the Boolean value False.

Step 2: Understand x or 3

x or 3

The or operator returns the first truthy value.

x = False → falsy

So Python checks the next value: 3

3 is truthy

Therefore:

x or 3

becomes:

3

Step 3: Understand x + True

x + True

Here:

x = False

In Python:

False = 0

True  = 1

So:

False + True

= 0 + 1

= 1

Therefore:

x + True

becomes:

1

Step 4: Substitute the values

The original expression is:

(x or 3) * (x + True)

We found:

x or 3  → 3

x + True → 1

So it becomes:

3 * 1

Step 5: Perform multiplication

3 * 1

Result:

3

Final Output

3
