I dont understand how the answer is 3 . a>b - i am not sure how are they comparing ( whether taking the sum of all the list ite

Question

a = [7,3,9,5]
b = [8,0,4]
if a > b :
print(len(a))
else:
print(len(b))

Answer 1

They are compared based on comparison between each element just like how strings are compared

7>8 is compared first which returns false ,if both had 8 and 8 as first element than 3 and 0 would be compared

Answer 2

oh thankyou so much !
