Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -050226)

 

Code Explanation:

1. Creating a list

chars = ['a', 'b', 'c']

This line creates a list named chars.

The list contains three characters: 'a', 'b', and 'c'.

2. Using map()

m = map(ord, chars)

map() applies a function to each item in an iterable.

Here:

ord is a built-in function that converts a character to its Unicode (ASCII) value.

chars is the iterable.

map() does not execute immediately.

It returns a map object (an iterator), stored in m.

3. Converting the result to a list

print(list(m))

list(m) forces the map object to execute.

ord() is applied to each character:

ord('a') → 97

ord('b') → 98

ord('c') → 99

The results are collected into a list and printed.

✅ Final Output

[97, 98, 99]
