Answer: Python Puzzler #1374

The answer is D. The program prints:

4 2
What the program prints
Checked by running the program for real.

Why?

// divides and throws away the remainder: each friend gets 4 sweets. % gives the remainder: 2 sweets left over.

Trace table

A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:

sumanswer
22 // 54
22 % 52

The code again

sweets = 22
friends = 5
print(sweets // friends, sweets % friends)

Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
