Question

What is the output?

res = 0
i = 0
while (i < 5):
-> i += 1
-> res += i
-> if (res > 6):
--> continue
print(res)

Answer 1

The output of the Python code will be 15, which is the result of adding the value of 'i' to 'res' in each iteration, until 'i' is less than 5, considering that the print statement is outside of the while loop.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code snippet presented is written in Python, and it's meant to calculate the variable res by incrementing it with the value of i in each iteration of a while loop, which runs while i is less than 5. The continue statement is used to skip the rest of the loop when res becomes greater than 6.

However, there seems to be a misunderstanding in the usage of continue here because once res is greater than 6, the continue statement will cause the loop to skip the print function, and the final value of res won't be displayed. From the given code, it is not clear where the print statement is located due to the indentation, but assuming it is outside the while loop, the final output once the loop exits, would be the last value of res calculated when i reaches 5, which is 15.
