+Python 3.9.17 (main, Jul  5 2023, 20:47:11) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

+>>> 3 < 4 == True
+False
+</code>
+Why?
+A: The ''<'' and ''=='' are comparison operators. If a, b, c, …, y, z are expressions and op1, op2, …, opN are comparison operators, then in python, a op1 b op2 c ... y opN z is equivalent to a op1 b and b op2 c and ... y opN z, except that each expression is evaluated at most once.
+So ''3 < 4 == True'' is equivalent to ''3 < 4 and 4 == True'' which evaluates to ''True and False'' which turns out to be ''False''.
