Question

Hello!!
please tell me how this output(answer) is 15???

x=5
if(not(x*2==10)):
print(x*2)
else:
print(x*3)

tell me below

Answer 1

(5*2 == 10) returns true, but the not inverts it to false. So it moves to the else statement and prints 5*3 which is 15

Answer 2

Basically what Aaron Eberhardt said:

The if statement is if(not(x * 2 == 10)):
So first it checks the statement x * 2 == 10 which is True (as x = 5). Then it checks the "not" or the inverse of that statement, which is false. So you are essentially checking if(False): print(x*2). Quite obviously, this will not happen, so instead it moves on the the else statement, which involves printing x * 3, which is 15.
