Question

def safe_division(numerator, denominator): # Complete the if block to catch any "denominator" variables # that are equal to 0. if ___ result = ___ else: # Complete the division equation. result = ___/___ return result print(safe_division(5, 5)) # Should print 1.0 print(safe_division(5, 4)) # Should print 1.25 print(safe_division(5, 0)) # Should print 0 print(safe_division(0, 5)) # Should print 0.0

Answer 1

The given code snippet contains a function called safe_division that performs division and handles division by zero.

Computer Science

The given code snippet contains a function called safe_division which takes two parameters numerator and denominator. The goal of the function is to perform division and handle the case where the denominator is equal to 0.

The incomplete if block is meant to check if the denominator is 0. If the condition is true, it means that the division is not possible and the function should return a special value (0 in this case).

Example:

If we call safe_division(5, 5), the result should be 1.0 because 5 divided by 5 equals 1.0.

If we call safe_division(5, 4), the result should be 1.25 because 5 divided by 4 equals 1.25.

If we call safe_division(5, 0), the result should be 0 because division by 0 is undefined.

If we call safe_division(0, 5), the result should be 0.0 because 0 divided by 5 equals 0.0.
