Python questions (abs)

Question

Solution is listed as 3. Any idea why this isn't 17 (equation below)?

"What is the output of this code?
j=10
jj=4
i=3+4
j=4
If j>abs(i):
print (i+j)
else:
print(abs(i-jj))"

-abs is absolute (highest integer).
-j is 10 which is > than any other number (4, 3+4, or 4.
-So why is the solution given as 3 and not 17 (i+j)?
-Thanks for any help:).

Answer 1

It's giving 17 as output. Try re-checking the answer.

Answer 2

tristach605 j got updated before if condition and it's holding 4 now which is less than i= 7.. so else condition is gonna executed... 7-4 = 3 is correct answer
