Solution

The output of the Python code will be [0].

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. A list q is defined with one element: 0.

  2. The function foo(k) is called with q as the argument. Inside the function, k is assigned a new list [1]. However, this doesn't affect q because lists are passed to functions by reference, and the function only changes the local reference k, not q.

  3. After the function call, print(q) is executed. Since q has not been modified by the function foo(k), it remains as [0].

So, the output of the code is [0].
