Python Coding challenge - Day 901| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Class Definition

class Player:

    score = 5

Explanation:

A class named Player is created.

score = 5 is a class variable.

Class variables belong to the class itself, not to individual objects.

All objects will share the same class variable unless overridden by instance variable.

2. Creating First Object

p1 = Player()

Explanation:

An object p1 of class Player is created.

p1 does not have its own score, so it will use the class variable score = 5.

3. Changing Class Variable Directly Using Class Name

Player.score = 20

Explanation:

This line updates the class variable.

Now the class variable score becomes 20.

Every object that does not have its own score variable will see 20.

4. Creating Second Object

p2 = Player()

Explanation:

Another object p2 is created.

Since class variable score was updated to 20,

p2.score will be 20.

5. Print Values

print(p1.score, p2.score)

Explanation:

p1.score

p1 does not have its own score

uses class variable → 20

p2.score

same logic → 20

Final Output

20 20
