Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -030526)

 

Explanation:

🔹 Line 1: Creating the List

x = [1, 2, 3]

A list named x is created.

It contains three elements:

Index 0 → 1

Index 1 → 2

Index 2 → 3

🔹 Line 2: The Print Statement

print(x.pop(1) + x[1])

Let’s break this into parts:

🔸 Step 1: x.pop(1)

The pop(1) function:

Removes the element at index 1

Returns the removed value

👉 Before pop: x = [1, 2, 3]

👉 After pop: x = [1, 3]

👉 Returned value: 2

🔸 Step 2: x[1]

Now the updated list is [1, 3]

x[1] refers to the element at index 1

👉 x[1] = 3

🔸 Step 3: Addition

2 + 3 = 5

🔹 Final Output

5
