Why is it?

Question

Can anyone explain why this is happening
print( 5 == (5 or 6) )
True
print(False == (False or True))
False

Answer 1

Expression in brackets is always evaluted first so in first statement

(5 or 6) results in 5 as "or" operator only cares about if first value is 0 or >=1 and if it is 0 it moves to next number but since 5 is greater than 0 it returns it without checking for 6

So now you have 5==5

In second statement False or True returns True
And False==True is False

Answer 2

Gh Hoop The purpose of the "or" operator is to determine if either of its operands is True (or evaluates to True). In the case of 5 or 6, since its first operand (5) evaluates to True (because it is non-zero), it returns that (i.e. 5). When it is False or True, since False is False (obviously), it goes to the second operand which is True. When that happens it returns True.

Answer 3

Look at the logic truth table for 'or'.

Answer 4

I dont have problem with first code
But second, why False or True, it chose True?

Answer 5

What about code below that?
False equals to False or True and it should be True.

Answer 6

Gh Hoop no.
False == (False or True)
False == True
False

Or returns true even if either one of the value is true

Answer 7

In the code it is written that if 5 equals to 5 or 6 answer is true and cause 5 equals to 5 is true
