Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -060226)

 

🔹 Step 1: Tuple creation

t = (1000, 2000, 3000)

A tuple with three integer objects is created.

---

🔹 Step 2: Loop starts

for i in t:

The loop assigns each element of the tuple to i, one by one:

• 1st iteration → i = 1000

• 2nd iteration → i = 2000

• 3rd iteration → i = 3000

---

🔹 Step 3: is operator check

if i is 2000:

⚠️ This is the tricky part.

• is checks identity → Are both variables pointing to the same object in memory?

• It does NOT check value equality.

Even though i looks like 2000, it may not be the same object as the literal 2000.

👉 Large integers (like 2000) are not reliably cached in Python.

---

🔹 Step 4: Condition result

• i is 2000 → False

• So print("Found") is never executed

---

🔹 Final Output

(no output)

---

 Key Takeaway

Operator	Meaning
==	Compare values
is	Compare memory location

✔ Correct way to check value:

if i == 2000: 
   print("Found")
