Python Coding challenge - Day 125 | What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code:

a = 5 and 10

b = 5 or 10

c = a + b

print(c * 2)

Answer and Solution:

Let's break down the code with the given logical operations:

a = 5 and 10: The and operator returns the last true operand, or the first false operand. In this case, it evaluates both 5 and 10 and returns 10 because both are considered truthy values. So, a is assigned the value 10.

b = 5 or 10: The or operator returns the first true operand, or the last false operand. In this case, it evaluates 5 and since 5 is considered truthy, b is assigned the value 5.

c = a + b: This line adds the values of a and b (10 + 5) and assigns the result (15) to the variable c.

print(c * 2): This line prints the result of doubling the value of c, which is 15 * 2 = 30.

So, when you run this code, it will output 30.
