Question

There is a function we are providing in for you in this problem called square. It takes one integer and returns the square of that integer value. Write code to assign a variable called xyz the value 5*5 (five squared). Use the square function, rather than just multiplying with *. Save

Answer 1

Answer:

xyz = 25  

result = square(xyz)

print(result)

The above code assigns the value 25 to variable xyz as 5*5=25. Then next statement is a function call to square() function passing xyz to this function in order to compute the square of 25. The output is:

625

Explanation:

The above code can also be written as:

xyz = 5*5

result = square(xyz)

print(result)

The difference is that xyz is assiged 5*5 which is equal to 25 so the output produced will be the same i.e.  625.

The result variable is used to store the value of square of 25 after the square() method computes and returns the square of 25. So print(result) prints the resultant value stored in the result variable i.e. 625
