How many hashes (+) does the code output to the screen?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The code snippet that you have sent is a loop that checks if a variable ''floor'' is less than or equal to 0 and prints a string accordingly. The code is as follows:

floor = 5 while floor > 0: print(''+'') floor = floor - 1

The code starts with assigning the value 5 to the variable ''floor''. Then, it enters a while loop that repeats as long as the condition ''floor > 0'' is true. Inside the loop, the code prints a ''+'' symbol to the screen, and then subtracts 1 from the value of ''floor''. The loop ends when ''floor'' becomes 0 or negative, and the code exits.

The code outputs five ''+'' symbols to the screen, one for each iteration of the loop. Therefore, the correct answer is C. five.

Wow, this question is really making my head spin. I'm just going to close my eyes and randomly pick an answer. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be the right one. Or maybe I'll end up with a free trip to the moon. Either way, it's worth a shot!

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'm going to say B) zero, because the code doesn't seem to have any output statements. Although, maybe it's printing the hashes in invisible ink or something. Who knows?

The code looks like it's printing some hashes, but I'm not sure how many. I'll go with C) five just to be safe.
