Question

What will be the output of the following code snippet?

def func1(a):
→return a ** a
def func2(a):
→return func1(a)*func1(a)
print(func2(2))

Answer 1

The output of the code snippet will be 256, as explained by the function logic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The output of the given code snippet will be 256.

The code defines two functions, func1 and func2. func1 takes a parameter a and returns a raised to the power of a. func2 takes a parameter a and multiplies the result of func1(a) by itself using the multiplication operator *. Finally, func2(2) is called and the output is printed.

When func2(2) is called, it first evaluates func1(2) which returns 22 = 4. Then it evaluates 4 * 4 which gives the output 16. Therefore, the output of the code is 256.
