Prerequisite – Loops in Python
Predict the output of the following Python programs.
- 1) What is the output of the following program?
x = ['ab', 'cd']
for i in x:
i.upper()
print(x)
|
Output:
['ab', 'cd']
Explanation:
The function upper() does not modify a string in place, but it returns a new string which here isn’t being stored anywhere. So we will get our original list as output.
- 2) What is the output of the following program?
x = ['ab', 'cd']
for i in x:
x.append(i.upper())
print(x)
|
Output:
No Output
Explanation:
The loop does not terminate as new elements are being added to the list in each iteration. So our program will stuck in infinite loop
- 3) What is the output of the following program?
i = 1
while True:
if i%3 == 0:
break
print(i)
i + = 1
|
Output:
No Output
Explanation:
The program will give no output as there is an error in the code. In python while using expression there shouldn’t be a space between + and = in +=.
- 4) What is the output of the following program?
x = 123
for i in x:
print(i)
|
Output:
Error!
Explanation:
Objects of type int are not iterable instead a list, dictionary or a tuple should be used.
- 5) What is the output of the following program?
for i in [1, 2, 3, 4][::-1]:
print (i)
|
Output:
4
3
2
1
Explanation:
Adding [::-1] beside your list reverses the list. So output will be the elements of original list but in reverse order.
