Python Coding challenge - Day 958| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Defining a Custom Metaclass

class Meta(type):

Meta is a metaclass because it inherits from type.

A metaclass controls how classes create their instances.

2. Overriding the Metaclass __call__ Method

    def __call__(cls, *a, **k):

        obj = super().__call__(*a, **k)

        obj.ready = True

        return obj

__call__ is invoked when a class is called to create an instance (Task()).

Steps:

Calls super().__call__() → creates the object normally.

Adds a new attribute ready = True to the object.

Returns the modified object.

So every object created using this metaclass automatically has ready = True.

3. Defining a Class Using the Metaclass

class Task(metaclass=Meta):

    pass

Task is created using Meta as its metaclass.

Task() will invoke Meta.__call__.

 4. Creating an Instance

t = Task()

This triggers:

Meta.__call__(Task)

Inside __call__:

A new Task object is created.

t.ready = True is added.

5. Checking the Attribute

print(hasattr(t, "ready"))

Checks if attribute "ready" exists on t.

Since Meta.__call__ added it, result is True.

6. Final Output

True

Final Answer

✔ Output:

True
