Question

What will be the output of the following Python code?

i = 5
print(i,end='@@')
def add():
  global i
  i = i+7
  print(i,end='##')
add()
print(i)

Options

• 5@@12##15

• 5@@5##12

• 5@@12##12

• 12@@12##12

Answer 1

5@@12##12

Explanation:

i starts as 5, printed first → 5@@.
Inside the function, i becomes 12 (global change) → prints 12##.
Finally, printing i again shows 12 → output 5@@12##12.
