Q: Given above is the function definition for a function called my_q. Enter the final value of result after the following line is run.
1. result = my_q(2.0, 1.0, neg = True) * my_q(2.0, 1.0, rec = True)

Answer 1

The final value of result is -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given code defines a function called my_q which takes three parameters: num, den, rec (optional, default value False), and neg (optional, default value False).

The final value of result is the product of two function calls:

1. my_q(2.0, 1.0, neg = True) evaluates to -1.0 because the value of rec is False, so it returns den / -num.
2. my_q(2.0, 1.0, rec = True) evaluates to 0.5 because the value of rec is True and the value of neg is False, so it returns den / num.

Therefore, the final value of

result

is

-1.0 * 0.5 = -0.5
