sneaky and light_level

Hello,

Can you help me understand why in "return self.sneaky and light_level" the self.sneaky does not appear but light_level is printed.

import random

class Thief: sneaky = True def pickpocket(self): if self.sneaky: return bool (random.randint(0,1)) #return False def hide(self, light_level): return self.sneaky and light_level

return self.sneaky and light_level - this just mean that the method will return True if both self.sneaky AND light_level are True or 'truthy'.

If one of them is False or 'falsy' then the method will return False
