QUESTION 3:

Consider the following piece of Python code. What is the output?

x = [4, 5, 6]
y = [str(x[0] + 1), str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code']
z = y[1].split('&')
print(z[1])

a) 5
b) 12
c) Code
d) &Code

Correct Answer: c. Code

Detailed Solution:
1. x = [4, 5, 6]: A list with three elements.
2. y = [str(x[0] + 1), str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code']:
o x[0] is 4, so x[0] + 1 is 5, and str(x[0] + 1) becomes "5".

o len(x) is 3, so len(x) * 2 is 6, and str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code' becomes "6&Code".

o Therefore, y = ["5", "6&Code"].
3. z = y[1].split('&'):
o y[1] is "6&Code".
o Splitting "6&Code" by '&' gives ['6', 'Code'].
4. z[1] is 'Code'.
Thus, the print(z[1]) statement outputs Code.

QUESTION 4:

State True or False.

Statement: “To indicate different blocks of code, Python follows rigid indentation.”

a. True
b. False

Correct Answer: a. True

Detailed Solution: To indicate different blocks of code, Python follows rigid indentation.
