Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 140826)

 

Explanation:

1. 7 ^ 3 — Bitwise XOR

The ^ operator performs Bitwise XOR.

Convert the numbers into binary:

7 = 111

3 = 011

Apply XOR:

  111

^ 011

-----

  100

100 in binary is 4.

So:

7 ^ 3

becomes:

4

2. 4 & 5 — Bitwise AND

Now Python evaluates:

4 & 5

Binary representation:

4 = 100

5 = 101

AND keeps 1 only when both bits are 1:

  100

& 101

-----

  100

100 in binary is 4.

3. print()

The final statement becomes:

print(4)

✅ Output

4
