Python - Logical operators evaluation order

Why these results? Especially, why is c 1? a = 0 and 1 or 0 b = 0 and 0 or 1 c = 1 or 0 and 0 d = 0 or 1 and 0 print(a,b,c,d,sep='')

Boolean operators from lowest precedence to highest precedence: OR, AND, NOT. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#operator-precedence Therefore, the expressions are evaluated as: a = (0 and 1) or 0 # 0 or 0 == 0. b = (0 and 0) or 1 # 0 or 1 == 1. c = 1 or (0 and 0) # 1 or 0 == 1. d = 0 or (1 and 0) # 0 and 0 == 0.

Always first AND, then OR. Understood.

a = 0 and 1 or 0 b = 0 and 0 or 1 c = 1 or 0 and 0 d = 0 or 1 and 0 print(a,b,c,d,sep='') #0110

they are probably executed in this order: a = 0 and (1 or 0) b = (0 and 0) or 1 c = 1 or (0 and 0) d = (0 or 1) and 0 print(a,b,c,d,sep='') it really is weird, but by placing brackets you can make it the order is right...
