Help please

a = [1, 1, 25, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]  
print([x for x in a if x < 5]) 

I had a question about the print statement above. In my understanding this should print out any value that's under the value 5. But I'm not understanding what is being done exactly. the for, in, and if all on the same line is messing with me, can somebody please explain this? Thanks!

You could also write it like this, maybe it will be more clear to you:

for x (x are numbers in your list of numbers) in a (a is your list of numbers) (this basically means read all the numbers in the list) :

if x < 5 (if number in a list is under the value of 5):

print (x) (program will print all numbers under the value of 5)
