The answer is D. The program prints:
6 3
This answer was checked by running the program for real.
Why?
// divides and throws away the remainder: each friend gets 6 sweets. % gives the remainder: 3 sweets left over.
Trace table
A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:
| sum | answer |
|---|---|
| 27 // 4 | 6 |
| 27 % 4 | 3 |
The code again
sweets = 27
friends = 4
print(sweets // friends, sweets % friends)Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
