boolean logic - Why does Python behave this way? -

i trying figure out why python 2.7 behaves way below code.

>>> = true >>> b = 5<6 >>> == b true

what beingness tested here? help much appreciated

what beingness tested

(5<6) == true

which same testing

5<6

and should obvious true, , python agrees:

>>> 5<6 true

writing in complex way shown in question makes no sense really, @ to the lowest degree far python code concerned. it's bad code, unless there esoteric external requirement write that.

if wondering is, why python that, reply is: when run python command called repl, or read-eval-print-loop. repl that: every line of input give it, automatically prints result of lastly look in line. , >>> python's interactive prompt, indicating in repl mode.
