Correct Answer: (‘3.3456789’, ‘3.3456789’)
Notes:
Answer: b
Explanation: We can simply convert strings with a %s format expression or the str built-in function. Both of these methods have been shown in this code. Hence the output is: ) (‘3.3456789’, ‘3.3456789’)
112). What will be the output of the following Python code snippet?
'%(qty)d more %(food)s' %{'qty':1, 'food': 'spam'}
[A]Error
[B]No output
[C]‘1 more foods’
[D]‘1 more spam’
Show Answer
Correct Answer: ‘1 more spam’
Notes:
Answer: d
Explanation: String formatting also allows conversion targets on the left to refer to the keys in a dictionary coded on the right and fetch the corresponding values. In the code shown above, (qty) and (food) in the format string on the left refers to keys in the dictionary literal on the right and fetch their assorted values. Hence the output of the code shown above is: 1 more spam.
