What is printed by the following program?
def product(x, y):
return x * y
def difference(x, y):
return x – y
x = 2
y = 5
value1 = product(x, y)
value2 = difference(y, x)
result = difference(value1, value2)
print(result)
– 7
– -7
– 13
– -13
The program will print `13`.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
1. The `product` function calculates `x * y`, so `product(2, 5)` returns `10`.
2. The `difference` function calculates `x – y`, so `difference(5, 2)` returns `3`.
3. Now we have `value1 = 10` (from the product) and `value2 = 3` (from the difference).
4. Finally, `difference(value1, value2)` means `difference(10, 3)`, which calculates `10 – 3` and gives `7`.
5. The print statement displays `7`.
Therefore, the correct answer is `7`. If you have more questions or want a deeper explanation, feel free to check the extended services page!
