Consider the following code segment:
a = input("Enter the value of a:")
b = input("Enter the value of b:")
print(a + b)
If the user runs the program and enters 11 for a and 9 for b then what will the above code display?

Answer
Output
Enter the value of a:11
Enter the value of b:9
119
Explanation
input() function accepts user input as string type. The data type of a and b is string not int so addition operator concatenates them to print 119 instead of 20.

Consider the following program. It is supposed to compute the hypotenuse of a right triangle after the user enters the lengths of the other two sides.
a = float(input("Enter the length of the first side:")) b = float(input("Enter the length of the second side:")) h = sqrt(a * a + b * b) print("The length of the hypotenuse is", h)When this program is run, the following output is generated (note that input entered by the user is shown in bold):
Enter the length of the first side: 3
Enter the length of the second side: 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
h = sqrt(a * a + b * b)

Find out the error and the reason for the error in the following code. Also, give the corrected code.
a, b = "5.0", "10.0" x = float(a/b) print(x)Consider the following code segment:
a = input() b = int(input()) c = a + b print(c)When the program is run, the user first enters 10 and then 5, it gives an error. Find the error, its reason and correct it
Consider the following expression:
x = "and" * (3 + 2) > "or" + "4"
What is the data type of value that is computed by this expression?
