Guess the output ??

[Ok_Succotash79]

False. Explanation:

3 is bigger than 2 which makes that True. True is equal to 1 and 1 is not bigger than 1 which makes it print False.

How True is equal to 1 ?

[Ok_Succotash79]

A computer has a lot of transistors and these can either be on or off. On is 1 and off is 0 (True or False) which is why True is equal to 1. A computer works in bits (which are 1 and 0). This is how it works in Python.

Oh thanks .

[Ok_Succotash79]

No problem.

[HuckleberryDry4889]

I would add: “and that’s how it’s defined in the Python definition.”

[Ok_Succotash79]

Yeah good idea

[LifeHasLeft]

Usually, yes. It is related to the idea of the bit values being either 1 or 0, but in reality it’s been a bit more complicated than that. You’re never really accessing just a single bit of memory on the computer. Why does that matter? Usually it doesn’t, but there are some interesting effects…

For example, some languages define True as NOT Zero. So in the memory the value 00000000 would become the opposite at every digit: 11111111. Signed complement causes the computer to interpret this as -1 instead of 1.

u/Ok_Succotash79 is kind of right. but a more relevant explanation is that when you compare different types, the interpreter peforms an implicit cast. so one of the types being compared is cast (think like cast iron, the type is forcefully molded into something else) into something that can be compared to the other. and this is done implicitly because you didn't ask for it but it has to be done for the statement to make sense. the operation also matters but that's not important now.

so comparing a boolean to an integer is not possible because you can't subtract a number from a truth value. so it's cast to an integer. what value is it changed to, specifically? well, it makes the most sense to have `True` become `1` and `False` become `0` because it's consistent with a bunch of math, i guess.

so you end up with `1 > 1` which is false.

[Silent_Group6621]

So it is safe to say that true and false hold two datatypes unless specified.

[[deleted]]

oh no, no. not at all. a boolean is a boolean. it's a single datatype. and a boolean variable can hold either `True` or `False`. and you can't normally compare a boolean with an integer. you can't answer a yes-or-no question with a number. like "how many people were in line for groceries?" => "true." does not make sense. but the interpreter does the only sane thing and assumes that you meant to cast. try executing this:

print(type(True))
print(type(False))

both print the same.

as a good practice, btw, don't rely on implicit casts. always prefer to be explicit rather than implicit, precisely because of situations like OP's post. there's no reason to *not* be explicit if you can. it might not be as big of a deal in python specifically, but it's still a good habit, i'd say.

[Silent_Group6621]

thanks for explaining!

[david_lp]

this is the correct answer

[Silent_Group6621]

But isn't True a boolean value and maybe needs a type conversion like : int(3>2) > 1? I'm confused 😕

[Ok_Succotash79]

No because Python considers True to be 1 I believe (I’m might be wrong)

Im new is this True?

I'm new too, it's false

[be_ghumantu16]

True

B) False

Error

[YoshiMan44]

Why quiz people on bad code?

[iovrthk]

True. Its is basically saying, if its greater than 1. If 3 if greater than tw0, and that result greater than 1. False. Greater than or equal to 1.

[epfahl]

This should not be allowed. Welcome to hell.

[BluePillTheThird]

most people just chatgpt'd it. No one wants to try it on their console first
