print(not 42 == "any_string")

not 42 evaluates to False and "any_string" would evaluate to a boolean True. So, not 42 == "Answer" should evaluate to False but it evaluates to True. How is this possible?

CodePudding user response：

it's order of preference

first this condition will be executed 42 == "any string" and the output of this is False

then comes not so not False is True

this is why the output is True

CodePudding user response：

The true order is:
First: 42 == "any_string" --> false
Second: not false --> true
So,the input is true

42 == "any_string" is a conditional statement.
So,not 42 == "any_string" will judge the 42 == "any_string"firstly,
just like if 42 == "any_string".
