Python Coding challenge - Day 1168| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

    Code Explanation:

🔹 1. Function Definition

def show():

    return "Hi"

✅ Explanation:

A function named show() is created.

When called:

show()

it returns:

"Hi"

⚠️ Important:

At this point:

show

means the function object itself, not the return value.

🔹 2. Creating Dictionary

d = {

    show: 100

}

✅ Explanation:

A dictionary is created.

Key:

show

Value:

100

Dictionary Internally

It looks like:

{

    <function show>: 100

}

⚠️ Important:

The key is NOT:

"Hi"

and NOT:

show()

The key is the actual function object.

🔹 3. Why Function Can Be a Key?

Functions in Python are objects.

Example:

print(type(show))

Output:

<class 'function'>

Since functions are hashable objects,

they can be used as:

Dictionary keys ✅

Set elements ✅

🔹 4. Accessing Dictionary Value

print(d[show])

✅ Explanation:

Python searches for key:

show

inside dictionary.

Dictionary contains:

show : 100

So Python finds:

100

🔹 5. Printing Result

print(d[show])

prints:

100

🎯 Final Output

100
