Boolean priority?
Why is this output True? Does the Boolean âandâ have a priority over âorâ? What am I not understanding? print(True or True and False) Output: True How I attempted to solve was by taking it apart from left to right. True or True = (True) (True) and False = False End result is False. Which is what I thought.

As OP have not mentioned any language, I am assuming it to be python and if that's the case then
Yes, logical AND have higher precedence than OR, meaning the expression would be evaluated like this
print ( True or ( True and False ))
Which will always result in True
Check the following docs to know more about operator precedence in pythonđ

Yes, it was a python question! Thank you for the clarification.
