Before you keep reading...

Runestone Academy can only continue if we get support from individuals like you. As a student you are well aware of the high cost of textbooks. Our mission is to provide great books to you for free, but we ask that you consider a $10 donation, more if you can or less if $10 is a burden.

Prediction

Read the code below and then answer the following question.

# set the initial values of x and y
x = 6
y = 2

# print the values
print("x =", x)
print("y =", y)

# swap the values of x and y
x = y
y = x

# print the values
print("x =", x)
print("y =", y)

What will the code above print? To save space we are showing all of the answers on one line with a comma between values rather than on different lines.
• 1. It will print: x = 6, y = 2, x = 2, y = 6
• 2. It will print: x = 2, y = 6, x = 6, y = 2
• 3. It will print: x = 6, y = 2, x = 2, y = 2
• 4. It will print: x = 2, y = 6, y = 6, y = 6
• 5. None of the above will print.

Before you keep reading...

Making great stuff takes time and $$. If you appreciate the book you are reading now and want to keep quality materials free for other students please consider a donation to Runestone Academy. We ask that you consider a $10 donation, but if you can give more thats great, if $10 is too much for your budget we would be happy with whatever you can afford as a show of support.
