Python Coding challenge - Day 257 | What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Explanation:

def calculate(a, b=5, c=10):

def: This keyword is used to define a function.

calculate: This is the name of the function.

a: This is a required parameter. The caller must provide a value for a.

b=5: This is an optional parameter with a default value of 5. If no value is provided for b when calling the function, it will default to 5.

c=10: This is another optional parameter with a default value of 10. If no value is provided for c when calling the function, it will default to 10.

  return a + b + c

return: This specifies the value the function will output.

a + b + c: The function adds the values of a, b, and c together and returns the result.

print(calculate(3, c=7))

calculate(3, c=7):

The function is called with a=3 and c=7.

The argument for b is not provided, so it uses the default value of 5.

Inside the function:

a = 3

b = 5 (default value)

c = 7 (overrides the default value of 10).

print(): This prints the result of the calculate() function call, which is 3 + 5 + 7 = 15.

Output:

15
