Python input()-or question.

Question

Consider this code:

for i in range(k):
a = input() or 5

Suppose that there is no input given for this code (just pressing the enter button when the input prompt appears). If k is 1, a is equal to 5. However, if k is greater than 1, then EOFError is raised. Why does this happen, even though I had used the 'or' there?

Jan Markus Thanks for answering my question. I'll try it in PyDroid.
