Question

What is the output of this code?
num = 7
if num > 3:
print("3")
if num < 5:
print("5")
if num ==7:
print("7")

Why isnt the answer?

3
7

Oder of operations kind of thing??

Answer 1

This question catches sooo many people out.

The statement if num == 7: is inside the code block of the statement if num < 5: - since that if statement is False, that code block doesn't get executed. This means the num == 7 doesn't even get parsed.

Answer 2

BJ Bubala Because 7 is greater than 3 but not less than 5 so it will print 3 only.

To print 7 , first condition 7 < 5 must be satisfied.

It is a nexted if condition. To satisfy inner if condition first outer if condition must be satisfied.

so here num == 7 is a inner if condition of outer if condition num < 5

And num < 5 is a inner if condition of outer if condition num > 3

Answer 3

Hey BJ Bubala You Getting Only 3 Because In condition first :
7 is greater than 3 so it already printed ‘3’ for you but in condition second 7 is not less than 5 so condition gone false and it comes out.
