3. What is the output of the following code :print(9//2)*4 pointsA. 4.5B. 4.0C. 4D. Error

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify what the code print(9//2)*4 is doing.
2. Understand the operations involved, particularly the double forward slash (//), which indicates integer division in Python.
3. Determine the final output of the expression.

Relevant Concepts

1. The operator // in Python means integer division, which returns the largest whole number less than or equal to the division result.
2. The print() function outputs the value to the console but does not affect the value returned by the expression.

Analysis and Detail

1. Calculate the integer division: $9 // 2 = 4$
2. The result 4 is then printed, but the operation does not affect the subsequent multiplication.
3. After printing, 4 is not used for any further calculations since the print() function only outputs to the console.

Verify and Summarize

The code prints 4 to the console, but the expression print(9//2)*4 evaluates to the result of print(), which is None, multiplied by 4. However, since we are only concerned about the printed output, the effective result of the evaluated integer division is 4.

Final Answer

The output of the code is C. 4.
