Why this is true ?

If x=10, y=20, z=5 then why i=x<y<z (is True in C++)

Because in C++, "<" has a left-to-right associativity. 10<20<5 == (10<20)<5 // 10<20 is True == (1) < 5 // This is True == True.

It's because you can't have multiple comparisons, so it only checks the first one, which is true. To make it false, you should do it like this: i = x < y && y < z;
