Priorities

When it comes to programming, being able to prioritize logical statements like and and or is crucial. Earlier, you worked with math operations such as + and *. You might remember from school that * has higher precedence than +. The same rule applies to logical operators — and takes priority over or.

Let's examine an example and make a guess about the result! If you're worried about making an error, feel free to check the hints in this chapter and refer to the table. Keep in mind that you should perform the action inside the brackets first!


              12
            
statement = ((True or True) and False) or True
print(statement)

Let's break down this statement and look at each iteration to avoid any misunderstanding:

((True or True) and False) or True;
(True and False) or True;
False or True;
True.
