Python Coding challenge - Day 1147| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

🔹 1. Function Definition

def func():

✅ Explanation:

A function func is defined.

It contains try, except, and finally blocks.

🔹 2. try Block

try:

    print("A")

    return 1

✅ Explanation:

First, "A" is printed.

Then return 1 is executed.

⚠️ Important:

Even though return is reached, Python does NOT immediately exit

It will still execute the finally block

🔹 3. except Block

except:

    print("B")

✅ Explanation:

Runs only if an exception occurs in try

In this case:

No error happens

So this block is skipped

🔹 4. finally Block

finally:

    print("C")

✅ Explanation:

This block always executes, no matter what:

Return

Exception

Normal execution

👉 So "C" is printed even after return

🔹 5. Calling the Function

print(func())

🔍 Step-by-step execution:

print("A") → prints:

A

return 1 is prepared (but paused)

finally runs → prints:

C

Function returns 1

Outer print() prints:

1

🎯 Final Output

A

C

1
