Read Trace variable reassignment and predict print output
This SOF ICSO sample tests: Trace a short Python program where a variable is reassigned to a new data type, and predict its printed output. Read the idea first, then use the method below before you solve.
Programming questions are solved by following a defined sequence of instructions, symbols or assignments exactly as written.
Find the tested idea
Identify whether the question asks about a program step, a symbol, or the final output before choosing a rule.
Work from the evidence
Trace instructions in order. Keep the current value of each variable or flowchart step visible; do not skip an assignment or decision.
Verify before choosing
Read the wording, figure and all answer choices exactly as given. Select an option only after it satisfies every stated condition.
