Answer:

To illustrate addition operation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above code segment

Required

Determine the purpose of "+" in label line 2

In line 2, num1 = 3 and num2 = 2 in line 3.

sum = 2 + 3 = 5 in line 4

From the given code segment, the plus sign is used as a string literal (i.e. "+").

This means that, the print statement will output: 3 + 2 = 5

The "+" is printed in between 3 and 2.

So, the purpose of the "+" is to show the function of the program and the function of the program is to illustrate an addition operation between two variables
