Expected output
Number of owls: 7
Answer (2)
The code initializes total_owls to 0 and prints a fixed number of owls as 7. The output reflects this by displaying 'Number of owls: 7' followed by 'Number of owls: 0'. To improve the code, use the user input to calculate a dynamic value for total_owls instead of keeping it at zero.
;
The code initializes total_owls to 0.
The code prints "Number of owls: 7".
The code prints "Number of owls:" followed by the value of total_owls .
The final output is "Number of owls: 7" and "Number of owls: 0".
Explanation
Understanding the Code The code snippet initializes a variable total_owls to 0. It takes two inputs, num_owls_A and num_owls_B , but these inputs are not used in any calculations. It prints "Number of owls: 7". Then, it prints "Number of owls:" followed by the value of total_owls .
First Print Statement The code first prints the string 'Number of owls: 7'.
Second Print Statement Then, the code prints the string 'Number of owls:' followed by the value of the variable total_owls , which is initialized to 0.
Final Output Therefore, the output will be 'Number of owls: 7' followed by 'Number of owls: 0'.
Examples
This problem demonstrates how a simple program assigns a value to a variable and then prints that value along with a fixed string. Understanding how variables are initialized and used in print statements is fundamental in programming. For example, in a store's inventory system, you might initialize a variable to represent the number of items in stock and then print a message displaying the current stock level. This basic concept is crucial for creating more complex programs that interact with data and provide meaningful output.
