PCAP Exam - Question 64


What is the expected output of the following code?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The code will cause a runtime exception because variable names cannot start with a number. In Python, using '1st' as a variable name is invalid syntax, and this will lead to a syntax error before the code can even be executed. Furthermore, there appears to be an issue with the modulo operation '=' sign spacing, which would also cause a syntax error if not corrected.

Length will be 3, the answer is D

1st is invalid parameter, so the code will issue syntax error.

its a bit tricky this one. lst or 1st?

there is a space between two equal signs, so it is an error

There is a space in the range function too so... we'll never know

The answer B is OK because the name of the variable "1st" is incorrect. Variables names can contain numbers but not at the begin.

B. you can not have a variable name where the initial character is a number '1st' it could be 'st1'. The equal sign has a gap which is not recognised in python = =, it should have been ==

True. The assumption is that that should be an letter "l" given the choices. If the real exam had '1st' then B would be wrong since this code would not even compile.

If you ignore the fact the 1st is an invalid variable name and the spacing is all wonky, then the answer is D. It might be lst but its hard to know or sure because formating on this site is a nightmare for programming questions. Anyway, if we ignore that, then we evaluate each item in the list [0,1,2,3,4] according to the lamba function x % 2 == 0, where x is each subsequent item in that list. If they evaluate to true, then that item is allowed to pass the filter into the new list (that is created by the list() function). Remember that modulo % returns the remainder of the division (regardless of which way you go) 0 % 2 returns 0 1 % 2 returns 1 2 % 2 returns 0 3 % 2 returns 1 4 % 2 returns 0 only the items that evaluated to 0 will pass the filter. Thats [0,2,4] with a length of 3

1st is not valid variable name. It will give runtime error

When you try to run this code, it errors, correct answer is B

Janpcap123Option: B
Jul 26, 2022

The answer is #B. The code will cause a runtime exception. The actual error is: #TypeError: object of type 'filter' has no len() we cant get the len of a filter object so we can not print(len(list) The only answer is B and noting else.

the answer is B but due to space between = =, len can be applied to the filter.

Administrator_Of_Silly_WalksOption: B

B is the correct answer because there is no list named "list".

Also, you can't start a lists name with a number.

assuming code is correct: D. 3

It is D. len(lst) = 3

ProfstevieOption: B

It is not B because either error is synthax or compiler. It is never runtime error

JnanadaOption: D

Correct Answer is D. If there is space, then it wouldn't give runtime error, it will give compile time error.

the answer is D

Mikku123Option: D

It is a format issue by examtopics, read 1 as l (letter) everywhere in code.. so, D is the correct answer for this!

>>> lst = [x for x in range(5)] >>> lst [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] >>> lst = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, lst)) >>> lst [0, 2, 4] >>> print(len(lst)) 3
