[Tutor] equality check difference

[Vipul Sharma]

Hello,

Suppose we want some block of code to be executed when both '*a'* and
'*b'*are equal to say 5. Then we can write like :

*if a == 5 and b == 5:*
*    # do something*

But a few days ago, I just involuntarily wrote a similar condition check as
:

*if a == b and b == 5:*
*    # do something *

which made me think, is there any difference between the two ?

Is there any difference, any difference in the process of evaluation or
execution ? and also which one is the better ?

I think this is a general programming question and not specifically for
python.

P.S. : Newbie here :)

Thanks.
Regards,
Vipul Sharma
