Read the first 7 Operator Precedence and Binding flashcards as text

  1. What does `1 + 2 ** 3 * 4` evaluate to?

    Answer: 33

    Precedence order: `2**3=8` first, then `8*4=32`, then `1+32=33`.

  2. Which of the following has the LOWEST precedence in Python?

    Answer: or

    Among logical operators and comparisons, `or` has the lowest precedence, evaluated last.

  3. What is the result of `10 - 3 + 2 * 2`?

    Answer: 11

    `2*2=4` first (higher precedence), then left-to-right: `10-3+4 = 7+4 = 11`.

  4. What does `True and not False` evaluate to?

    Answer: True

    `not` has higher precedence than `and`: `not False=True` first, then `True and True = True`.

  5. What is the output of `print(2 * 3 ** 2)`?

    Answer: 18

    `**` has higher precedence than `*`: `3**2=9` first, then `2*9=18`.

  6. What is the value of `(2 + 3) * (4 - 1) ** 2`?

    Answer: 45

    Parentheses first: `(2+3)=5` and `(4-1)=3`; then `**`: `3**2=9`; then `*`: `5*9=45`.

  7. In Python, what is the associativity of the assignment operator `=`?

    Answer: Right

    The assignment operator is right-associative: `a = b = 5` is evaluated as `a = (b = 5)`.
