class A: t = 'a' class B: t = 'b' class C: t = 'c' class D(A, B, C): pass print(D().t)
What is a?
Cause: When there are conflicts in Python's multiple-inheritance scheme, Python picks the first class.

b = True
print(f'{b * "Born"}{not(b) * "Hack"}{(b + b) * "2024"}')What is BornFalse20242024?
Cause: Booleans act as integers when multiplied on strings, and 'not' applies to the entire (b) * "Hack" expression, not just b.

evens = (i * 2 for i in range(4)) pairs = zip(evens, evens) squares = (m * n for m, n in pairs) print(sum(squares))
What is 24?
Cause: The programmer expected 'pairs' to be [(0, 0), (2, 2), (4, 4), (6, 6)], but its actual value is [(0, 2), (4, 6)] because evens is a generator, and the zip expression consumes data from the same generator in both of its arguments.

g = (lambda: (yield (yield (yield (yield (yield True))))))() g.send(next(g) or False) g.send(True and next(g)) print(next(g))
What is None?
Cause: The booleans get returned in the g.send calls, but we ignore those results. The final next(g) call returns the result of the yield *after* returning the value of the previous g.send, which is None because we didn't send a value this time.

class Eval:
def __init__(self, arg): self.arg = arg
__getattr__ = lambda self, x: eval(f'{x}({self.arg})')
try: Eval(Eval(10).Eval).print
except:
try: Eval(20).Eval.Eval.print
except:
try: Eval(30).Eval.print
except:
try: Eval(40).print
except: print(50)What is 20?
Cause: The first statement fails because it passes a non-primitive class instance value to the Eval class, which then gets turned into its string representation by Eval.__getattr__, which loses information. The second statement only handles a primitive int value and succeeds.
