Question

What is the value of count after the code gets run? We don't know the numerical value of count, but which equation will be equivalent after the code is run?

count = ???
x=10
y=3
if x % y == 2:
count += 1
if x % y <= 1:
count *= 2
else:
count -= 3 ==
a. (count+1)
b. 10
c. There is no way to know this
d. (count*2)
e. (count+1)*2
f. (count+1)-3
Clear my choice

Answer 1

After running the code, the value of 'count' will be 'count' multiplied by 2, given that the second condition 'x % y <= 1' is true for the values x=10 and y=3. This corresponds to option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the value of the count variable after the code gets run, we first need to analyze the given code. We have an x value of 10 and a y value of 3 and must execute a series of conditional statements.

1. First condition: Check if x % y == 2. For x=10 and y=3, the remainder of x divided by y is indeed 1 (as 10 modulo 3 equals 1). Since 1 does not equal 2, the condition is false, so we do not increment count by 1.
2. Second condition: Check if x % y <= 1. As previously stated, the remainder is 1, which satisfies this condition. Therefore, the block of the if statement is executed which doubles the count.
3. Else case: Since the second condition was true, the else statement associated with it does not run. We do not subtract 3 from count.

Therefore, the final value of count after running the code is count multiplied by 2, which corresponds to option d. (count*2).
