Certified Associate in Python Programming (PCAP-31-03) — Question 62

What is the expected output of the following code?

mytu = ('a', 'b', 'c')
m = tuple(map(lambda x: chr(ord(x) + 1), mytu))
print(m[-2])

Answer options

• A. an exception is raised
• B. a
• C. b
• D. c

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The code takes a tuple of characters, increments their ASCII values by 1, and creates a new tuple. When accessing the second to last element with m[-2], it retrieves 'c', which has been incremented to 'd', making 'd' the last element. The correct answer is D, while A is incorrect because no exception occurs, and B and C are also incorrect as they do not represent the output.
