Question

What will be the output of the following code snippet?

t = tuple('tuple')

t2 = t[2],

t += t2

print(t)

Options

• (‘tuple’)

• (‘tuple’,‘p’)

• (‘t’, ‘u’, ‘p’, ‘1’, ‘e’, ‘p’)

• (‘t’, ‘u’, ‘p’, ‘1’, ‘e’)

Answer 1

(‘t’, ‘u’, ‘p’, ‘1’, ‘e’, ‘p’)

Explanation:

1. The function tuple('tuple') breaks the string into individual characters, creating t = ('t', 'u', 'p', 'l', 'e').
2. The statement t2 = t[2], creates a new tuple containing the character at index 2 (which is 'p') because of the trailing comma.
3. Using t += t2 performs tuple concatenation, joining the two tuples together to produce the final output.
