Python Coding challenge - Day 1032| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Defining the Class

class Test:

This creates a user-defined class named Test.

By default, it inherits from object.

🔹 2. Defining the Constructor (__init__)

def __init__(self, x):

    self.x = x

__init__ runs when a new object is created.

self → refers to the current object

x → parameter passed during object creation

self.x = x → stores the value inside the object

📌 Each object gets its own separate x.

🔹 3. Creating the First Object

a = Test(10)

What happens internally:

Memory is allocated for a new object

__init__ is called

self.x becomes 10

📌 a now refers to one unique object in memory.

🔹 4. Creating the Second Object

b = Test(10)

Same steps as before

Even though the value 10 is the same, a new object is created

Stored at a different memory location

📌 b refers to a different object than a.

🔹 5. Equality Check (==)

a == b

== checks value equality

Since Test does not override __eq__, Python uses:

object.__eq__(a, b)

Default behavior → checks identity, not content

📌 Because a and b are different objects → False

🔹 6. Identity Check (is)

a is b

is checks memory location

It returns True only if both variables point to the same object

📌 a and b point to different memory locations → False

🔹 7. Printing the Result

print(a == b, a is b)

a == b → False

a is b → False

✅ Final Output

False False
