Answer 1

'and' checks that chain of expressions for True/False, until it either finds a False one, or the chain is over.

a > 5 and 'a'

Since a is indeed > 5, the next expression - is 'a' True or not? - is evaluated.

Since 'a' is True, the following part after 'or' isn't executed anymore.

'a' therefore is the final result and therefore becomes the new value of the variable.
