Python Coding challenge - Day 459| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

Importing Required Modules

from functools import reduce

import timeit

reduce is imported from functools — it applies a function cumulatively to a list.

timeit is used to measure execution time.

Statement to Time

stmt = 'reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, [1, 2, 3, 4])'

This is a string of code that:

Uses reduce to multiply all elements of the list [1, 2, 3, 4]

That is:

(((1 * 2) * 3) * 4) = 24

Since this is a string, timeit will treat it as code to execute.

3. Calling timeit

print(timeit.timeit(stmt, number=1000))

This runs the stmt 1,000 times and prints the total time taken in seconds.

Final Output:

D: Error
