Question
Analyze the following Python code snippet:
Assuming this code is run in a Python 3.x environment, what will be the outcome?
sum = lambda a,b : a+bprint (sum(5,6))print sum(10,30)Assuming this code is run in a Python 3.x environment, what will be the outcome?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The first
print statement print (sum(5,6)) uses Python 3 function syntax for print, and sum(5,6) correctly evaluates to 11. The second print statement print sum(10,30) uses Python 2 statement syntax for print. In Python 3, print is a function and requires parentheses for its arguments. Therefore, print sum(10,30) would result in a SyntaxError in Python 3.x.
Hint
Distinguish between Python 2 and Python 3 syntax, specifically regarding the `print` function/statement.
