Wrong answer?

So I came across this question and it states the answer is 3. Wouldn't it be 3 and 7? Is question was found on if statements. Question 3/3. ---- What is the output of this code? num = 7 if num > 3: print("3") if num < 5: print("5") if num ==7: print("7") ----

Effoffwillyageez The point is that "if num == 7" is more indented than "if num < 5". The condition num < 5 is false, so it won't even check if num == 7. Everything that is on the same indentation level as "if num < 5" (or even further indented) won't be executed because the initial condition num < 5 is false. Anything after line 4 won't be executed.

the answer is 3 because the condition was met on the first if statement and the next nested was false. so it stopped

Oh. So if the condition is met before the rest of the code inside the nest is executed then it doesn't need to execute the rest?

python compiler executes line by line so output will be 3 when first condition faiks then it jumps to next one hope you are cleared
