What is the expected output of the following code?
What is the expected output of the following code?
The function f(n) is designed to be a recursive function that sums the integers from n down to 1. However, the code has a key issue with indentation. In Python, proper indentation is crucial for defining the scope of code blocks. The second return statement is indented as part of the if-condition, meaning it will never be executed if the condition `n == 1` is true. After returning 1 for `f(1)`, the function would effectively have no return when n is not 1, resulting in the function returning None for any other value, including f(2). Without proper indentation ensuring the second return statement executes outside of the if-condition, the output is None.
Another example of where blind copy and paste makes this questions boarderline unanswerable.
C assuming the indentation is correct (there's no option for "the code causes runtime error", so I guess the indentation is correct)
Throw that code as-is and what are the results? D is the correct answer.
This is the correct code that prints 3 as the answers def f (n): if n == 1: return 1 else: return n + f (n-1) print (f(2))
The answer is C if the indentation is assumed to be correct.
Its not properly indented so it should return errors but since that is not an option then the answer is C if indentation is assumed to be correct
There is no need for an else, if n != 1 it will return the n + f (n-1) So correct answer is 3
executed and verified
def f(n): if n == 1: return 1 return n + f(n-1) print(f(2)) Answer will be 3 ------------------------------------ def f(n): if n == 1: return 1 return n + f(n-1) Answer will be None
The answer is None def f(n): if n == 1: return 1 return n + f(n-1) print(f(2)) test the code and result = None because dont have Else: on if
The answer to the problem is 3
D is correct
when you run this snippet on a compiler it prints out None. Even if the indentation is corrected you can not have 2 results in one function unless it is separated by an else like below def get_absolute_value(num): if num < 0: return -num else: return num result = get_absolute_value(-5) print(result) # Output: 5
It's a recursive function that adds up all the numbers from n, n-1, n-2 ,...,1. So, given n=2, and assuming the indentation is correct, the result will be: 2 + 1 = 3.
The answer in this case is None as there is no "else" specified, so that works only when n==1
answer should be C if identation is correct
error based on indentation??
