Python Coding challenge - Day 741| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Import the Fraction class

from fractions import Fraction

The fractions module allows you to represent numbers as fractions (numerators/denominators) instead of floating-point decimals.

Fraction ensures exact rational number arithmetic without precision errors.

2. Create the first fraction

f1 = Fraction(3, 4)

This creates a fraction object representing 3/4.

Internally, Fraction keeps numerator = 3, denominator = 4.

So, f1 = 3/4.

3. Create the second fraction

f2 = Fraction(2, 3)

This creates another fraction object representing 2/3.

So, f2 = 2/3.

4. Multiply the fractions

f1 * f2

Multiply 3/4 × 2/3.

Numerators: 3 × 2 = 6.

Denominators: 4 × 3 = 12.

Result: 6/12 → simplified to 1/2.

So, f1 * f2 = 1/2.

5. Add another fraction

+ Fraction(1, 6)

We add 1/6 to the previous result (1/2).

Find common denominator:

1/2 = 3/6.

3/6 + 1/6 = 4/6.

Simplify → 2/3.

So, result = 2/3.

6. Print the result

print(result, float(result))

result is a Fraction object → prints 2/3.

float(result) converts the fraction to decimal → 0.6666666666666666.

7. Final Output

2/3 0.6666666666666666
