Answer: Python Puzzler #1930

The answer is B. The program prints:

1
2
Boop
4
5
Boop
What the program prints
Checked by running the program for real.

Why?

Every number that divides exactly by 3 (remainder 0) is replaced by ‘Boop’. All the others are printed as they are.

Trace table

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

numbernumber % 3printed
111
222
30Boop
414
525
60Boop

The code again

for number in range(1, 7):
    if number % 3 == 0:
        print("Boop")
    else:
        print(number)

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