Multiplication or sum of two numbers

Question

Given two integer numbers, return their product only
if the product is equal to or less than 1000, else return their sum.

def multiplication_or_sum(num1, num2):
    product = num1 * num2
    if product < = 1000:
        return product
    else:
        return num1 + num2

result = multiplication_or_sum(20,30)
print("The result is = ", result)


result = multiplication_or_sum(50,10)
print("The result is = ", result)

my output

The result is =  600
The result is =  500

expected output

The result is =  600
The result is =  60

but I can’t figure out the error.

Answer 1

if the product is equal to or lower than 1000, else return their sum.

if x*y <= 1000:
   return x*y
else:
   return x+y

20 * 30 = 600
600 < 1000
return 600

50 * 10 = 500
500 < 1000
return 500

Answer 2

The expected output looks good to me.

But, in case you were wondering: can I do this in one line with python? the answer is yes:

def multiplication_or_sum(num1, num2):
    return num1*num2 if num1*num2 <= 1000 else num1+num2

For python3.8+ code can be:

def multiplication_or_sum(num1: int, num2: int) -> int:
    if (product := num1 * num2) <= 1000:
        return product
    return num1 + num2
