Python Coding challenge - Day 319| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

Lambda Function Definition:

The function greater is defined using a lambda function.

The lambda function takes two arguments, a and b.

It uses a conditional expression (also called a ternary operator) to compare a and b. The structure is:

a if a > b else b

If a > b is True, the function returns a.

If a > b is False, the function returns b.

Calling the Function:

The function greater(8, 12) is called with a = 8 and b = 12.

Condition Evaluation:

Inside the lambda function, the condition a > b is evaluated, i.e., 8 > 12.

This condition is False because 8 is not greater than 12.

Returning the Result:

Since the condition a > b is False, the function returns b, which is 12.

Printing the Result:

The result 12 is stored in the variable result.

The print(result) statement outputs 12.

Output

12
