In python What will be the output of the following code : print type(type(int))
- A.
Type 'int'
- B.
Type 'type'
- C.
Error
- D.
0
Correct Answer
B. Type 'type'Explanation
The code is using the `type()` function to find the type of `int`, which is an integer. The `type()` function returns the type of an object. In this case, the type of `int` is `type`, which represents the type of a class. So the output of the code will be `type 'type'`.Rate this question:

What is the output of the following program : print 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3
- A.
Machine dependent
- B.
True
- C.
False
- D.
Error
Correct Answer
C. FalseExplanation
The output of the program is false. This is because when adding 0.1 and 0.2, the result is not exactly equal to 0.3 due to the way floating-point numbers are represented in computers. Floating-point numbers have limited precision, so there can be slight rounding errors. In this case, the result of 0.1 + 0.2 is slightly less than 0.3, hence the comparison is false.Rate this question:

What is used to define a block of code (body of the loop, function, etc.) in Python?
- A.
Curly braces
- B.
Parenthesis
- C.
Indentation
- D.
Quotation
Correct Answer
C. IndentationExplanation
In Python, a block of code is defined using indentation. This means that the code within a loop, function, or any other block is indented by a specific number of spaces or tabs. This indentation is used to determine the scope of the code and to group statements together. Unlike other programming languages that use curly braces or parenthesis to define blocks of code, Python relies solely on indentation. This helps to improve readability and encourages consistent formatting within the code.Rate this question:
