Given the common idiom in mathematics (a <= b <= c) and what it means, please contemplate which of "and" and "or" might be the more sensible/useful/plausible answer. Failing that, try to write a small script which answers your question. If that doesn't work, try reading section 5.9 (Comparisons) of the Python Reference Manual. > > II) How many operands can be chained for comparison in a single > expression?
