Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 220926)

 

Explanation:

🟢 Line 1: Create Tuple x

x = (5, 100)

x contains two values:

5, 100

So:

x → (5, 100)

🟡 Line 2: Create Tuple y

y = (5, 2, 9)

y contains three values:

5, 2, 9

So:

y → (5, 2, 9)

🔵 Line 3: Compare x > y

print(x > y)

Python compares tuples from left to right.

First values:

x → 5

y → 5

They are equal:

5 == 5

So Python moves to the next values.

🟠 Compare the Second Values

Now Python compares:

x → 100

y → 2

Therefore:

100 > 2

is:

True

At this point, Python stops comparing.

The 9 in y doesn't matter.

🔴 Why Doesn't Python Compare 100 With 9?

Tuple comparison is lexicographical.

It works like comparing words in a dictionary:

First element → compare

       ↓

If equal → next element

       ↓

First difference → final answer

       ↓

Stop

So:

(5, 100)

(5, 2, 9)

 ↑   ↑

same different

The first difference is:

100 > 2

Therefore the entire comparison is True.

⚡ Complete Flow

(5, 100) > (5, 2, 9)

5 == 5       → continue

100 > 2      → True

9            → ignored

✅ Final Output

True

🎯 Answer: True
