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.

Zero? Really? That code is definitely going to output something. I'm sticking with D - three hashes.

Haha, this question is a hash-off! I bet it's option C - five hashes. The more the merrier, right?

But the code only has two hashes, so it can't be five.

Hmm, the code is a bit tricky. I'm gonna go with option D. Three hashes seems right to me.
