Python Coding challenge - Day 838| What is the output of the following Python Code?

Code Explanation:

1) Import the dataclass decorator

from dataclasses import dataclass

This imports the dataclass decorator from Python’s dataclasses module.

@dataclass automatically creates useful methods (like __init__) for classes.

2) Define the dataclass

@dataclass

class Marks:

@dataclass tells Python to turn Marks into a dataclass.

This means it will auto-generate an initializer (__init__) taking m1 and m2.

3) Declare fields of the class

    m1: int

    m2: int

These are the attributes of the class.

m1 and m2 are typed as integers, representing two marks.

4) Define a method to compute total

    def total(self):

        return (self.m1 + self.m2) // 2

total() is an instance method.

It adds the two marks and uses // 2 which performs integer division (floor division).

This returns the average of the two marks as an integer.

5) Create an object and print result

print(Marks(80, 90).total())

Marks(80, 90) creates an object with m1 = 80, m2 = 90.

.total() computes (80 + 90) // 2 = 170 // 2 = 85.

print() displays the result.

Final Output

85
