True and False. I'm confused.

a=6 b=7 print(8, not (a==7 and b==6)) print(9, not a==7 and b==6) Why 8, is True? Why 9 ,is False? Both looks the same.

Nick , the difference of the 2 code samples is how the parenthesis are placed. > in the first sample there is an additional pair of parenthesis used. > in the second sample no additional parenthesis are used. Stefanoo has given the details how the expressions are evaluated.

It's like math lessons. First parentheses then from left to right. So in the first print statement we have: not (a==7 and b==6) not (false and false) not (false) true And in the second print statement we have: not a==7 and b==6 not false and false true and false false
