Python Coding challenge - Day 259 | What is the output of the following Python Code?

 Explanation:

def divide(a, b):

def: This keyword is used to define a function.

divide: This is the name of the function.

a, b: These are parameters. The caller must provide two values for these parameters when calling the function.

  quotient = a // b

a // b: This performs integer division (also called floor division). It calculates how many whole times b fits into a and discards any remainder.

For example, if a=10 and b=3, then 10 // 3 equals 3 because 3 fits into 10 three whole times.

  remainder = a % b

a % b: This calculates the remainder of the division of a by b.

For example, if a=10 and b=3, then 10 % 3 equals 1 because when you divide 10 by 3, the remainder is 1.

  return quotient, remainder

return: This specifies the values the function will output.

quotient, remainder:

The function returns both values as a tuple.

For example, if a=10 and b=3, the function returns (3, 1).

result = divide(10, 3)

divide(10, 3):

The function is called with a=10 and b=3.

Inside the function:

quotient = 10 // 3 = 3

remainder = 10 % 3 = 1

The function returns (3, 1).

result:

The tuple (3, 1) is assigned to the variable result.

print(result)

print():

This prints the value of result, which is the tuple (3, 1).

 Final Output:

(3, 1)
