Python Coding Challange - Question With Answer(01271224)

 

1. Understanding any() Function

• The any() function in Python returns True if at least one element in an iterable evaluates to True. Otherwise, it returns False.
• An empty iterable (e.g., []) always evaluates to False.

---

2. Evaluating Each Expression

a. 5 * any([])

• any([]) → The list is empty, so it evaluates to False.
• 5 * False → False is treated as 0 when used in arithmetic.
• Result: 0

b. 6 * any([[]])

• any([[]]) → The list contains one element: [[]].
  • [[]] is a non-empty list, so it evaluates to True.
• 6 * True → True is treated as 1 in arithmetic.
• Result: 6

c. 7 * any([0, []])

• any([0, []]) →
  • 0 and [] are both falsy, so the result is False.
• 7 * False → False is treated as 0 in arithmetic.
• Result: 0

d. 8

• This is a constant integer.
• Result: 8

3. Summing Up the Results

The sum() function adds all the elements of the list:

sum([0, 6, 0, 8]) = 14

Final Output

The code outputs : 14
