Variables

35.

What is the output of the following code:

my_dict = {"a": 1, "b": 2}
del my_dict["c"]
print(my_dict)

{"a": 1, "b": 2}

{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": None}

{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": undefined}

An error is raised

Answer: Option

Explanation:

The given code attempts to delete the key "c" from the dictionary my_dict.

However, since "c" is not a valid key in the dictionary, the del my_dict["c"] operation will raise a KeyError.

Therefore, the output of the code will be a KeyError:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example.py", line 2, in 
    del my_dict["c"]
KeyError: 'c'
