Question 2 of 30

Imagine multiplying a string by a number in Python. Will this operation return an error? If yes, why? If no, what is the output?

This question is to test the knowledge about dealing with string and numbers together.

No, there will be no error. The output is just repeating the string n times where n is the number multiplied by the string. An example is in the code below:

a='ab' * 10

Here the "a" variable will be a string of "ab" repeated ten times. Therefore, it will be a='abababababababababab'

A technical interviewer will aim to determine if you can reason what happens when you mix types within python.
