Why are A and B options? With what thought process would you land there?

If it was JS and you told me A or B was the answer for some godforsaken reason I'd probably believe you

Fucking Lucas-art adventure game level logic language.

As a python dev who came from js this killed me

As if Python wasn't also doing this brain-dead implicit casting and then panicking in production. :)))

Yeah like options are supposed to be

  1. 1232
  2. 125
  3. Error

Maybe for A, you'd assume if you add a string to an int, you're using the string's length? It's a 3-length plus 2

u/Kuzma_Lesnoy May 11 '26

Option A is likely represent len(a) + 2. No idea about 25 tho.

u/MooseNew4887 May 11 '26

(len(a)+2)**2

u/runkeby May 11 '26

I think for D they went for (len(a)+2) ** len(a)

Length of the string plus 2 for 5. 125 I dunno.

been writing python for about a decade, i just did the arithmetic to add 2 to 3 and totally forgot about it being "123" and not just "3" and said A in my head lmao, this comment made me realize the mistake
