Question

Please help understand the working of and

a=10 
b=50 
print(a and b) # 50
print(b and a) # 10

Why different results?

Answer 1

If you use and on two or more non-zero numbers then the last number would be printed as output. If one of those numbers is 0 then 0 will be the output.

print (a and b)

Here b  is the last number and because a is not zero, b is printed.

print (b and a)

And in this case, a is the last number and because b is not zero, a is printed.
