Certified Associate in Python Programming (PCAP-31-03) — Question 80

What is the expected behavior of the following code?

the_list = "1,2 3.split()
the_string = ''.join(the_list)
print(the_string.isdigit())

Answer options

• A. it outputs False
• B. it outputs True
• C. it outputs nothing
• D. it raises an exception

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The code will raise an exception because of a syntax error in the line 'the_list = "1,2 3.split()"'. The correct syntax should have a closing parenthesis for the split method, which is missing. Therefore, the program cannot execute properly, leading to an exception.
