Nested If Statement

This was the question What is the output of this code? num = 7 if num > 3: print("3") if num < 5: print("5") if num ==7: print("7") but it only yielded one answer. (3) I assumed the answer would be 3 7 I am a python n00b. Learning and implementing Python is part of my Data Analyst Nanodegree with Udacity, and I am using supplemental resources to gain comprehensive understanding of Python.. Can someone explain why this answer was only 3 and not 3\n7?

see carefully... first num is 7...nice then it enters 1st if statement ....if num>3 ----print("3") ((as 7>3 it prints 3...perfect) ......nested if num<5-----print("5") ((as 7 is not less than 5...wont run anything in the nested if..)) ****the third if statement is in the 2 nd if statement...and as 2nd if statement is False nothing in it gets to run...
