X is not x, they are two different variables. x = 'a' (line one). The rest is there to confuse you. But it could also be the keyboard helping you with caps at the beginning of a sentence.

Mohamed Adli x = 'a' if (x < 'c'): x += 'b' if (x > 'z'): x += 'c' print (x) x is less than c because Of ASCII value of a is less than c so x = ab Now 'ab' > 'z' here comparison will be on first character ASCII value of a is less than z so this if block will not execute So finally x = 'ab'

Hi! And also, in Python we can skip parentheses in the conditions (if they are not needed i.g. to group terms or to order operations): if x < 'c': x += 'b'
