Python Coding challenge - Day 287 | What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Purpose of the Code:

The function func(nums) is designed to compute the product of all elements in the input list nums.

Multiplication is achieved using a loop that iterates through each element of nums and multiplies it with a variable (result) initialized to 1.

Initialization:

result = 1

The variable result is initialized with the value 1.

Starting with 1 is crucial because 1 is the identity value for multiplication (multiplying any number by 1 leaves the number unchanged).

Iteration and Multiplication:

for n in nums:

    result *= n

The for loop iterates over each element n in the list nums.

In each iteration:

result *= n is equivalent to result = result * n.

The current value of n is multiplied with result, and the updated value is stored back in result.

Return the Result:

return result

After all elements in nums have been processed by the loop, the accumulated product (stored in result) is returned as the output.

Final Output:

Multiplies all elements in the list
