Python Coding challenge - Day 553| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Importing Union from typing

from typing import Union

Union is used in type hints to indicate that a value can be more than one type.

It's part of Python's typing module, which provides support for type annotations.

2. Defining the Function with Type Hints

def stringify(val: Union[int, float, str]) -> str:

val: Union[int, float, str] means the function accepts a value that can be either:

an int (e.g., 5),

a float (e.g., 3.14),

or a str (e.g., "hello").

-> str means the function will return a str.

3. Converting the Value to String

    return str(val)

The built-in str() function converts any supported type to a string.

Example: str(3.14) → "3.14"

4. Calling the Function and Printing the Result

print(stringify(3.14))

3.14 is a float, which is allowed by the function.

The function converts it to the string "3.14", and print displays it.

Output:

3.14
