The answer is D. The program prints:
hoot
Why?
A dictionary stores pairs: a key and its value. sounds["owl"] looks up the key ‘owl’ and gives back its value.
Trace table
A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:
| key | value |
|---|---|
| lion | roar |
| owl | hoot |
| bee | buzz |
| dog | woof |
The code again
sounds = {
"lion": "roar",
"owl": "hoot",
"bee": "buzz",
"dog": "woof",
}
print(sounds["owl"])Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
