Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -120326)

1️⃣ x = (5)

Even though it has parentheses, this is NOT a tuple.

Python treats it as just the number 5 because there is no comma.

So Python interprets it as:

x = 5

Therefore:

type(x) → int

---

2️⃣ y = (5,)

Here we added a comma.

In Python, the comma creates the tuple, not the parentheses.

So this becomes a single-element tuple.

y → (5,)

Therefore:

type(y) → tuple

---

3️⃣ Final Output

(<class 'int'>, <class 'tuple'>)

---

 Key Rule (Very Important)

A comma makes a tuple, not parentheses.

Examples:

a = 5
b = (5)
c = (5,)
d = 5,

print(type(a))  # int
print(type(b))  # int
print(type(c))  # tuple
print(type(d))  # tuple
