Predict the output of the following code:

line = [4, 9, 12, 6, 20] 
for I in line: 
   for j in range(1, I%5): 
       print(j, '#', end="") 
   print()

Working

  1. The list line contains the values [4, 9, 12, 6, 20].

  2. The outer loop iterates over each element (I) in the line list.

    • First Iteration (I = 4):

      I % 5 = 4 % 5 = 4
      Inner Loop Range: range(1, 4) → This generates the numbers 1, 2, 3.
      Output: 1 #2 #3 #

    • Second Iteration (I = 9):

      I % 5 = 9 % 5 = 4
      Inner Loop Range: range(1, 4) → This generates the numbers 1, 2, 3.
      Output: 1 #2 #3 #

    • Third Iteration (I = 12):

      I % 5 = 12 % 5 = 2
      Inner Loop Range: range(1, 2) → This generates the number 1.
      Output: 1 #

    • Fourth Iteration (I = 6):

      I % 5 = 6 % 5 = 1
      Inner Loop Range: range(1, 1) → This generates no numbers (empty range).
      Print: No output for this iteration (just a new line is printed).

    • Fifth Iteration (I = 20):

      I % 5 = 20 % 5 = 0
      Inner Loop Range: range(1, 0) → This generates no numbers (empty range).
      Print: No output for this iteration (just a new line is printed).

  3. The final output of the code will be:

1 #2 #3 #
1 #2 #3 #
1 #
