What will be the output of the following Python code? x = [1,2,3] print(x.pop(1) + x[1])

@clcoding Answer: 5 Solution: x is a list [1, 2, 3]. Now we run print(x.pop(1) + x[1]) The expression inside print now evaluates as x.pop(1) this actually removes the item at index 1 in x (thus modifying x), AND returns it here. Thus x.pop(1) evaluates to 2, and modifies x to [1, 3] +

@clcoding At this time, x[1] is 3. Thus, the value inside print simplifies to 2 (from the pop operation) + 3 (x[1] after the pop) which works out to be 5. And that's what gets printed.
