Question

Trace the code segments showing the variables' values in the columns while circling the final values.

sum = 0
for i in range(1, 8):
sum += 2
print(sum) # the output is:_______
A. 8
B. 14
C. 16
D. 12

Answer 1

The code calculates the sum of even numbers between 1 and 7. The final value of the sum is 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code segment provided calculates the sum of even numbers between 1 and 7. The sum variable is initialized to 0, and in each iteration of the loop, the value of sum is increased by 2. After the loop completes, the final value of sum will be the sum of all even numbers from 2 to 14 (inclusive), which is 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 = 56.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 56.
