Question 3(ii)

What will be the output produced by following code fragment ?

first = 2
second = 3
third = first * second
print first, second, third 
first = first + second + third 
third = second * first
print first, second, third
Answer
Output
2 3 6
11 3 33
Explanation
  1. first = 2 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 2 to first.
  2. second = 3 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 3 to second.
  3. third = first * second ⇒ third = 2 * 3 = 6. So variable third is initialized with a value of 6.
  4. print first, second, third ⇒ prints the value of first, second, third as 2, 3 and 6 respectively.
  5. first = first + second + third ⇒ first = 2 + 3 + 6 = 11
  6. third = second * first ⇒ third = 3 * 11 = 33
  7. print first, second, third ⇒ prints the value of first, second, third as 11, 3 and 33 respectively.
