## Let's try it!
Try running the code below to verify the result:

def div(a, b):
    return a / b


if div(1, 2) > 0 or div(1, 0) > 0:
    print('OK')
else:
    print('oopsie')

## Explanation

Most people expect this code to raise `ZeroDivisionError` due to `div(1, 0)`.
If we call `div(1, 0)` by itself, we’ll see that exception. Still, the logic operators `and` and `or` **short-circuit operators** in Python.
