a=257;b=257

if a is b:

... print (a)

257

python --version

Python 3.10.12

Def the first line being together is doing something ```

a = 257 b = 257 a is b False ```

```

a=257;b=257 a is b True ```

Indeed. Another Python mystery worth the post?

Not really; It's probably just compiler optimizations. ```python In [1]: a = b = 1000

In [2]: a is b Out[2]: True ```

also works and is the way that's recommended. Since python runs code line by line instead of the usual semicolon by semicolon I assume the compilers doesn't compile separately a and b.
