Choose the correct answerWhat is the output of the following code snippet?a = 0xBeeb = 0o123456print(a|b) Options45308427994569844224

The output of the given code snippet is 44224.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

1. The given code snippet is in Python. In Python, 0x or 0X is used to denote hexadecimal numbers and 0o or 0O is used to denote octal numbers.

2. The variable 'a' is assigned the hexadecimal value 0xBee. Converting this hexadecimal value to decimal gives us 3054.

3. The variable 'b' is assigned the octal value 0o123456. Converting this octal value to decimal gives us 42798.

4. The print statement is performing a bitwise OR operation on 'a' and 'b'. The bitwise OR operation takes two bit patterns of equal length and performs the logical inclusive OR operation on each pair of corresponding bits. The result in each position is 1 if the first bit is 1 OR the second bit is 1 OR both bits are 1; otherwise, the result is 0.

5. Performing the bitwise OR operation on the decimal values of 'a' and 'b' (3054 and 42798) gives us 44224.

So, the correct answer is 44224.
