Python Coding challenge - Day 655| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

 Code Explanation:

1. Importing the partial Function

from functools import partial

This line imports the partial function from Python’s functools module.

partial() lets you pre-fill (or freeze) some arguments of a function to create a new simplified function.

2. Defining the Original Function

def multiply(a, b, c):

    return a * b * c

This defines a function multiply() which takes three arguments: a, b, and c.

It returns the product of the three numbers: a × b × c.

3. Creating a Partially Applied Function

double_and_triple = partial(multiply, a=2, b=3)

This creates a new function called double_and_triple using partial.

The original function multiply() is partially filled with:

a = 2

b = 3

So now, double_and_triple() only needs one argument: c.

Internally, it works like:

multiply(2, 3, c)

4. Calling the Partial Function

print(double_and_triple(4))

You call double_and_triple(4) → this sets c = 4.

So, the full function becomes:

multiply(2, 3, 4)

The result is:

2 × 3 × 4 = 24

5. Final Output

24

The final printed output is 24.
