Question

1. (16 points) trace each of the following code snippets and state the output of running that code. write the answer on this sheet.

i. a = 5
b = 10
c = 2
if a > b and a > c:
print(a)
d = true
elif c > b:
print(b)
d = false
else:
print(c)
d = true
if a > c or d:
print(\first!\)
else:
print(\second\)

ii. color = \purple\
if true:
if color == \green\:
print(\green\)
else:
print(\who knows?\)
else:
if color == \blue\:
print(\blue\)
else:
print(
ot blue\)

Explanation:

i.

Step1: Check first if - condition

Check if \(a > b\) (\(5>10\) is \(False\)) and \(a > c\) (\(5>2\) is \(True\)). Since \(False\) and \(True\) is \(False\), move to \(elif\).

Step2: Check elif - condition

Check if \(c > b\) (\(2>10\) is \(False\)), move to \(else\).

Step3: Execute else - block

Print \(c\) (value \(2\)), set \(d = True\).

Step4: Check second if - condition

Check if \(a > c\) (\(5>2\) is \(True\)) or \(d\) (\(True\)). Since \(True\) or \(True\) is \(True\), print "First!".

ii.

Step1: Evaluate outer if - condition

The outer if condition \(True\) is \(True\), so execute the inner - block.

Step2: Evaluate inner if - condition

Check if \(color=="Green"\) (\("Purple"=="Green"\) is \(False\)), so execute the \(else\) part of the inner - block. Print "Who knows?".

Answer:

i. \(2\) \(\text{First!}\)
ii. \(\text{Who knows?}\)
