Digging deeper

Code questions

These will help you see the candidate's real-world development capabilities with Gentee.

What does the following Gentee code do?
str name = 'John'
print('Hello, $name!')
This code declares a string variable 'name' and assigns it the value 'John'. Then it prints the string 'Hello, John!' to the console.
What will be the output of the following Gentee code?
int a = 5
int b = 10
print(a + b)
The code will output '15'. It declares two integer variables 'a' and 'b', assigns them the values '5' and '10' respectively, and then prints the sum of these two variables.
What does the following Gentee code do?
list mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
mylist = mylist * 2
print(mylist)
This code declares a list 'mylist' with five elements. Then it multiplies the list by 2, which duplicates the list. Finally, it prints the new list '[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]'.
What does the following Gentee code do?
run {
  int i = 0
  while (i < 5) {
    print(i)
    i = i + 1
  }
}
This code prints the numbers from 0 to 4. It uses a while loop to print the value of 'i' and then increments 'i' by 1 until 'i' is no longer less than 5.
