The answer is B. The program prints:
PPP III XXX EEE LLL
Why?
A for loop can go through a string one letter at a time. Each letter is printed 3 times in a row.
Trace table
A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:
| letter | printed |
|---|---|
| P | PPP |
| I | III |
| X | XXX |
| E | EEE |
| L | LLL |
The code again
for letter in "PIXEL":
print(letter * 3)Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
