Python

Question

a = 5
b = 7
c=b=a
print(b)

Can anyone explain whats happening there and why b value is 5 but not 7 ?

Answer 1

Ramana Sai

See the thing is
The value of a is 5
The value of b is 7
The value of c is first assigned to the value of b that is 7 ok?
After that again the value of b is assigned to a that is 5 that's the only reason the answer is 5
Lemme explain you in more comfortable language.
A=5
B=7
C=b (which is 7)=a(now the value of b is changed to the value of a which is 5)
So the answer is 5

Thanks
Hope this helps 🤟

Answer 2

It is so simple.Firstly assign c to b so c = 7 b = 7 then assign b to a will gives b = 5.
In summary:
c = b = a => b = a (5) and c = b (5)

Answer 3

REASON

Assignment operator (=) has right to left Associativity.
