x = 'dance'y = 'charcol'print('cold' in 3 * (x + y))What is the output of the print() function call?TrueFalseErrorNone

Break Down the Problem

1. We need to evaluate the expression 3 * (x + y).
2. Then, we check if the substring 'cold' is present in the resulting string.

Relevant Concepts

1. String concatenation: x + y combines the two strings.
2. String replication: 3 * (string) repeats the string three times.
3. Substring check: 'substring' in string checks for the presence of a substring in a string.

Analysis and Detail

1. Concatenate the Strings:

   • Given x = 'dance' and y = 'charcol', we first concatenate them: $x + y = 'dance' + 'charcol' = 'dancecharcol'$

2. Replicate the Concatenated String:

   • Next, we replicate the result 3 times: $3 * (x + y) = 3 * 'dancecharcol' = 'dancecharcoldancecharcoldancecharcol'$

3. Check for Substring:

   • We need to check if the string 'cold' is present in 'dancecharcoldancecharcoldancecharcol':
     • The substring 'cold' is indeed present.

Verify and Summarize

• The substring check evaluates to True because 'cold' can be found within the replicated string.

Final Answer

The output of the print() function call is True.
