Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -040126)

 Code Explanation:

1. Tuple Initialization

t = (1, (2, 3), 4)

A tuple t is created.

It contains:

Integer 1

A nested tuple (2, 3)

Integer 4

2. Variable Initialization

s = 0

A variable s is initialized to 0.

It will store the running total (sum).

3. Loop Through Tuple Elements

for i in t:

A for loop iterates over each element in the tuple t.

On each iteration, i takes one element from t.

Iterations:

1st: i = 1

2nd: i = (2, 3)

3rd: i = 4

4. Type Checking

if type(i) == tuple:

Checks whether the current element i is a tuple.

This is important because (2, 3) is a tuple inside the main tuple.

5. If Element is a Tuple

s += sum(i)

sum(i) adds all values inside the tuple (2, 3) → 2 + 3 = 5.

The result is added to s.

6. If Element is Not a Tuple

else:

    s += i

If i is not a tuple (i.e., an integer), it is directly added to s.

7. Print the Result

print(s)

Prints the final value of s.

Final Output
