What do these lines show? print(5 > 3), print(2 == 3), print("a" == "a"), print(type(5 > 3))…
Contributed by StemPy LabTry it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
What do these lines show? print(5 > 3), print(2 == 3), print("a" == "a"), print(type(5 > 3)). (The sign == asks: are the two sides equal?)
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
== compares. = stores. A comparison gives a bool.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
5 > 3is true, so it showsTrue.2 == 3asks if 2 equals 3. It does not, so it showsFalse."a" == "a"compares two equal texts:True.- The type of a comparison result is
bool, so the last line shows<class 'bool'>.
Careful. A single = stores a value. A double == compares two values.
Answer: True, False, True and <class 'bool'>.
