Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (01201125)

 

Explanation:

x = 0

Initializes the variable x with 0.

x will act as the counter for the loop.

while x < 5:

Starts a while loop that will run as long as x is less than 5.

Loop iterations will occur for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

if x % 2 == 0: print("E", end='')

Checks if x is even (x % 2 == 0).

If true, prints "E".

end='' ensures that the next output prints on the same line without a newline.

elif x % 2 != 0: print("O", end='')

If the if condition is false, checks if x is odd (x % 2 != 0).

If true, prints "O" on the same line.

x += 1

Increments x by 1 after each iteration.

This moves the loop forward and prevents an infinite loop.

Step-by-Step Execution Table

x Condition     True Output x after increment

0 x % 2 == 0 → True     E     1

1 x % 2 != 0 → Tru e     O     2

2 x % 2 == 0 → True         E     3

3 x % 2 != 0 → True         O     4

4 x % 2 == 0 → True         E     5

Final Output:

EOEOE
