Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 011026)

 

Explanation:

🟢 Step 1: First List

[1, 2]

This list contains two integers:

1 → int

2 → int

🟡 Step 2: Second List

[1, 2.0]

This list contains:

1   → int

2.0 → float

At first glance, the lists look different because 2 and 2.0 have different types.

🔵 Step 3: Compare the First Elements

Python compares the elements position by position.

1 == 1

This is:

True

🟠 Step 4: Compare the Second Elements

Now Python checks:

2 == 2.0

In Python, an integer and a floating-point number with the same numeric value compare equal:

2 == 2.0

↓

True

🔴 Step 5: Compare the Complete Lists

Both corresponding elements are equal:

[1, 2]

   ==

[1, 2.0]

1 == 1     → True

2 == 2.0   → True

Therefore:

[1, 2] == [1, 2.0]

returns:

True

🟣 Step 6: print()

The print() function displays the result:

print(True)

✅ Final Output

True
