Python Coding challenge - Day 140 | What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Let's break down the code:

x = 5

y = 2

x *= -y

print(x, y)

Here's what happens step by step:

x is initially assigned the value 5.

y is initially assigned the value 2.

x *= -y is equivalent to x = x * -y, which means multiplying the current value of x by -y and assigning the result back to x.

Therefore, x becomes 5 * -2, resulting in x being updated to -10.

The print(x, y) statement prints the current values of x and y.

So, the output of this code will be:

-10 2
