Python Coding challenge - Day 656| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Importing partial from functools

from functools import partial

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

partial allows you to fix some portion of a function’s arguments and generate a new function with fewer arguments.

2. Defining the function add

def add(x, y):

    return x + y

Defines a function named add that takes two parameters: x and y.

The function returns the sum of x and y.

3. Creating a new function add_five using partial

add_five = partial(add, y=5)

Uses partial to create a new function called add_five.

This new function has the argument y fixed to 5.

Essentially, add_five is equivalent to add(x, 5).

When you call add_five, you only need to provide the remaining argument x.

4. Calling add_five with an argument and printing the result

print(add_five(10))

Calls the new function add_five with x = 10.

Since y is already fixed to 5 by partial, this computes add(10, 5), which returns 15.

The result 15 is printed to the console.

Final Output:

15
