_ is special to IDLE.

It's the last result. So presumably when you did it, your last result
was something boolean.
>>> sorted([random.randint(1,10) for i in range(10)])
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10]
>>> set(_)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10}
Can be quite handy, if you remember it's there. Otherwise, not so much. :)
